No store stamps. --- --- (KIRKUS REVIEW) -- Broughton tunes his book to the Richter scale of adolescence, the tremors, upheavals, and aftershocks that come with being 17 and having the world step up to meet you--only to find that you seemed to have missed its handshake. Carey Mitchell, a talented piano student, moves out with his mother, Nancy, when his professor father admits to a longstanding, rather pathetic weakness for his girl drama students. Son and mother first share an apartment in Philadelphia. And then, when Nancy gets an embassy secretarial job, they're off to Rome. Carey goes to a desperately make-do private school for foreigners there, but more crucial are his lessons with Ikbal Dorati, a thirtyish widow pianist destined to take Carey's heart and virginity. . .
