About this title

Review:

"Real people inhabit its pages and real suspense carries the story along. . . . Vida of course means life and [Piercy] personifies it."" --Chicago Tribune " "This epic story is fueled with intense commitment and sensuousness." --"Los Angeles Times Book Review" "Very exciting. Marge Piercy's characters are complex and very human." --Margaret Atwood "Marge Piercy tells us exactly how it was in the lofts of the Left as the 1960s turned into the 1970s. This is the way everybody sounded. This is the way everybody behaved. "Vida" bears witness." "--New York Times "
