Review
"With vibrancy and a steady barrage of linguistic bio, . . . Weber provides a blend of artistry and insight far beyond what we usually see in a first novel."--Andy Solomon, " The San Francisco Chronicle""Wonderfully complex characters, witty prose, ironic situations and tragic consequences . . . It's Weber's control of the language that holds this cleverly touching book together."--Jean Blish Siers, " Charlotte Observer""Engaging . . . Ms. Weber's nuanced renderings of childhood traumas, of families in crisis and of Harriet's grandmother are impressive."--Elizabeth Benedict, "The New York Times Book Review""An amazing first novel . . . wise, flippant, deep, witty--characteristics which are seldom found together. It is also a good story."--Madeleine L'Engle
From the Author
I'm a grateful author who thanks devoted readers
When you publish a first novel, very often the response is....nothing much. So I'm gratified that my first novel was so thoroughly reviewed and I am profoundly grateful to those readers who have let me know that they were both moved and entertained. If the world doesn't allow writers to publish those first novels, where are second, third, fourth novels going to come from? Please keep reading first novels! (But don't forget to read second novels!)

Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. First Edition. FIRST PRINTING. Author's remarkable, critically acclaimed debut novel. "A young photographer just winning recognition for her work, Harriet Rose is possessed by an eccentric sensibility, the product of a childhood in which privilege and haunting loss were intertwined. At twenty-six, it seems that things are going her way at last; she has found love with a painter, Benedict Thorne, and a travel fellowship has brought her to Geneva, where she can stay with her old Greenwich Village roommate and best friend Anne Gordon. But Anne has changed "into a strange new mistress-person," Harriet writes in a letter/journal she keeps for Benedict. Anne has become "frighteningly accessorized," turning into an "Anne of Cleavage." She is in the midst, Harriet soon learns, of a disastrous affair with a much older married man. As Harriet wonders how-or whether-to rescue Anne, events take a series of unexpected turns, and Harriet's past is once more reflected, darkly, in the present." 262 pages. Author May Sarton's DJ blurb exults, "Katharine Weber, in her stunning first novel, might be a murder-mystery author, so tight is her style as she examines four lives and their effect on each other, seeing each one as if in mirrors which, do not tell the truth-a fascinating read."
