Lowry Pei.
Sent away by her parents so that she can recover from boyfriend problems and they can sort our their shaken marriage, 15-year-old Karen is spending the summer with her aunt, a 35-year-old high-school teacher and spinster. Gradually Augusta reveals the secrets she has been hiding from her gossipy small-town neighbours - an affair with a married man, an ambiguous liaison with her old school flame, and an unconsummated relationship with the one man who really loved her. Although initially shocked, Karen begins to grasp the cost of growing up through the unnerving family resemblances that bind her to - and separate her from- Augusta and her own parents... 'Lowry Pei has perfectly captured the texture of adolescence, the tone of relations between a girl struggling to know who she is and an older woman who can give her comfort by presenting an identity in a similar state of flux' MARY GORDON 'Lowry Pei combines a wonderful realism about small towns, and sexuality, and old Buicks, and baseball, with a romanticism you can never quite put your finger on' URSULA LE GUIN
