First published to rave reviews in 1967, this compelling novel follows Stephanie from her childhood in France, through her father's mysterious disappearance, her emigration to America, her adolescence in New York, her marriage, her children, and ultimately her self-liberation, with each phase illustrating the painful ambivalence toward the irreconcilable poles of love and freedom.
