Exquisite, finely written novel of true literary value. That doesn't mean it is 'dull,' by any means. This is just pure good literature - at times joyous, at times tragic, all compelling. What is even more compelling is that this was written just before and during Reynolds Price's catastrophic illness, chronicalled in his memoir, "A Whole New Life." How this author, a man, was able to probe the psychology and emotions of his main character, Kate Vaiden, a girl and woman, is incredible. Great story.
