In this novel, a powerful, wrenching story
of a couple locked in a tragic embrace, the
author of two nonfiction best sellers--the
classic Against Our Will: Men, Women and
Rape and the equally brilliant Femininity--
now achieves a triumph as a writer of
fiction.
"Early oue morning in November 1987,"
Susan Brownmiller writes in her Foreword,
"the silence was broken on a quiet residen-
tial street in Greenwich Village. In re-
sponse to an emergency call, police and
paramedics entered a dark apartment and
found an unconscious six-year-old girl.
Three days later she died.
"It couldn t have happened here. But it
did. The day the child died, I began to write,
to imagine how the coople from nay neigh-
borhood whose image flashed repeatedly
across the television screen--a lawyer and a
womau with a bashed-in face who had once
been a writer--could have traveled the dis-
tance from people I might have known to
such a uightmare, and why the ample
warning signs were misperceived and mis-
interpreted by those in a position to sound
the alarm
"Impelled from start to finish by the
haunting face of a spirited little girl with
red hair," Susan Brownmiller was moved to
create a fast-talking hustler who lives by his
own rules, and a woman who adores him--
to invent their lives together from a first
encounter at a Village street fhir through
years increasingly darkened by drugs and
mental and physical destruction.
