Boston, Massachussetts, USA: Houghton Mifflin Company, 1989. ARC . Soft cover. Near Fine. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. This is an Advance Reading Copy, or ARC - a publishing state fast becoming an attractive "collectible", as it precedes the First Edition. An injury at birth left Audrey with a wandering eye. Though flawed, the bad eye functions well enough to permit her an idiosyncratic view of the world, one she welcomes in the stifling postwar Brooklyn of the 1950s. During a journey to Manhattan to see a doctor about her sight, she begins to explore the sexual rites of adulthood. But can her romance last? In this beautifully observed novel, Lynne Sharon Schwartz raises themes of innocence and escape while illuminating the rich inner life of a singular girl. 146 pages. CONDITION: A bright, tight square, unmarked copy, creased only at the outer tips of the back cover, with minimal shelf-wear - its interior pristine. This handsome, collectible copy is now in a clear, protective polypropylene bag.
