Book Description Hardcover. Condition: New. 1st Edition. Synopsis: Monica Jensen surprises everyone who knows her - including her husband - when she accepts an offer to teach at a boys' school in Pennsylvania. As she moves into her new rambling house, Sheila Trask arrives, a wild-looking figure in jodhpurs, and invites herself in. Sheila, a painter, has long baffled the neighbours with her strange habits and eccentric demeanour. Monica can't decide if she likes the woman, if she wishes her gone or if she feels a tug of powerful attraction. Week by week, as Monica settles into the community and her teaching role, Sheila's exhausting attentions gradually become a source of energising insight: into Monica's own golden girl past, and into the dark Neitzschean insolence of Sheila's artistic vision. As the solstice approaches and the evenings lengthen, together the women make a journey of intense friendship and sometimes frightening consequences. About the Author: Joyce Carol Oates was born in 1938. She has written manynovels and numerous collections of stories, poetry and plays. She is the Roger S. Berlind Distinguished Professor of Humanities at Princeton University. "About this title" may belong to another edition of this title. Seller Inventory # 158
