Description: This, the first novel I'd read by Alice Hoffman, proved to be a strange marriage of a realistThis, the first novel I'd read by Alice Hoffman, proved to be a strange marriage of a realist venture into small-town life and a gothic ghost tale. The conflicts in its pages run the gamut between the Haddan boarding school and the town of Haddan, the life with one man or the life with another, and the fine line teenagers walk when they are choosing between self and represented self.
Although the ending is, like the rest of the tome, odd, this book gets my high recommendations....
