Book Details
|
A cave woman appears on a fire escape in Brooklyn in 1967, a time when nothing seen on the street or in the news is surprising anymore. It's a time of sit ins and love ins, of mini skirts, tie dyes and Afros. The Vietnam war. As Mary Polleti, housewife, watches a storm rolling in over Flatbush, she sees the woman huddled outside her kitchen window and reaches out to her. This is the beginning of an unlikely, tender friendship between two women and the opportunity that opens up to Mary that she could never have imagined possible. With Linda as catalyst, the story carries on to an unexpected resolution. Sometimes comic, sometimes tragic, it's a story about women, and for women.
About the Author
Molly Rainier has lived on both coasts of this country...from Tacoma to Greenwich Village and Brooklyn, from Hollywood to San Francisco and back again. Now, spending her days in the grey mists of the Pacific Northwest, she continues working on her collection of short stories, her poetry, and the beginnings of a new novel, always mindful of the places she has been, the women she has known, and with feminism at the heart of her writing.
