She seeks comfort and acceptance, yet finds death, drugs, and an orgy of humiliation (<i>The New York Times Book Review</i>). She seeks companionship, yet finds one after another predatory man: sadists, alcoholics, unscrupulous doctors, and even child molesters. Can Nell extract from the the vast inhospitality of a creaking world some measure of beauty and grace? The answer, of course, is yes--but at the price of many illusions.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Since her debut novel, <i>The Country Girls, </i> <b>EDNA O'BRIEN</b> has written more than twenty works of fiction.
