Review by: rebecca-m
This was a book of fiction set in NYC's Greenwich Village. It has a somewhat strange plot wherein the characters become somewhat animated outside of their fictional world. This book touches on the themes of divorce, rape, helplessness, and agoraphobia with some strange sex and low self-esteem thrown in. All that having been said, there are many women for whom this novel will most assuredly resonate. As the book points out, one in 5 women are raped in a reported rape. I have read a more recent statistic that said a full quarter of all women in the US will report having been raped. Take into account the unreported ones, and the mind boggles. A good read especially for anyone who has been raped, particularly if their loved ones can't figure out why the aftereffects linger so long...why they cant just "get over it".
