In Arhat, Iowa, there are cornfields and there's the Colony. Smart and precocious fifteen-year-old Eve is feeling stymied by both.

Review:
About the Author:
"[A] winning, original and supremely intelligent novel." --Richard Eder, The New York Times
"Colony Girl is a teetering, scary, vibrant, and funny book, alternately spare as a cornfield and rich with gently surreal invention." --Jonathan Lethem, author of Girl In Landscape and Motherless Brooklyn
"His protagonist and narrator, Eve, is utterly original, indeed sui generis...Eve shows us just what a writer with a truthful imagination can achieve; she is the triumph a the heart of this marvelous new novel." --Los Angeles Times Book Review
Thomas Rayfiel is the author of Split Levels. His neo-Edwardian novel Lutwidge Finch is appearing serially in zingmagazine. He lives in Brooklyn with his wife, Claire, a potter, and their two children.
