Review:
Amy's wonderful girlfriend, Robin--who loves salmon omelets, mountain hikes, and impromptu picnics--has asked her to move in with her, and her response is to fly (or flee) home to Wisconsin for a visit, having heard her mother mention that a girl named Gina, Amy's childhood love, still lives in town. When Amy arrives at Gina's house, heart in her throat, she learns that Gina has been caring for their old friend Gavin, a cross-dresser even in childhood and the victim of countless games of Smear the Queer. Gavin doesn't have HIV, though; he has anorexia. Despite her conflicting feelings toward him, Amy finds herself putting off her return flight to Seattle so that she can try to cure whatever's wrong with Gavin--and herself--and recapture an opportunity she once let pass between herself and Gina. Although tentative at the opening, this debut novel builds momentum and eventually pulls the reader into the spiral of memories that draws Amy back into her troubled past and away from her outwardly happy life with Robin.

Book Description Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - Allison Green's Half-Moon Scar is an edgy novel about three childhood friends who reunite as adults to discover and heal each others' emotional wounds.Amy is a thirtysomething lesbian who escaped her small, Midwestern hometown of Willow Bay, Wisconsin, to pursue an academic career and establish a life with her lover. After years away from Willow Bay, she returns to visit the people she's left behind--only to discover that her old friends Gina and Gavin have learned to dissociate from their pasts in extreme ways that rival her own. Amy's tendency toward self-mutilation parallels both Gavin's anorexia and Gina's moody detachment from life, and Amy soon begins to fear for Gavin's life while becoming more and more bewildered by Gina's behavior.As past and present collide and the visit extends far beyond its intended length, as the reunion forces all three to examine the shame and guilt they experienced as gay adolescents. Amy finds that she must reconcile the tense relationship with her family and her long-standing attraction to Gina, as well as her past romantic experimentation with Gavin. Together, Amy, Gina, and Gavin examine the scars--both emotional and physical, visible and invisible--that pervade their still-unresolved lives. Seller Inventory # 9780312282530
