About This Item
Carroll & Graf, 1993. Near Fine. Upper-class Los Angeles, with its trendy morals and even more treacher ous hillsides, is no place for an Italian wife, even a modern one. Carla Verdi, separated from her domineering hus band, must cope with the ``phases'' of her 13-year-old son, the assaults of the weather, and the intricacies of he r friends' love lives. Until, suddenly, she has a love life of her own, and , with her husband's return, complicated deci sions to make herself. O'Faol ain plays with the meaning of the title, making it first ironic, then deadl y serious, and back again, as Carla decides where her life and allegiance m ust be placed after 15 years of marriage. Well-written, with a subtle, insi dious message. (O'Faolain also wrote Women in the Wall, No Country for Youn g Men, and Daughters of Passion ).
