This a very dark book about a woman that seems to be part of a hippie scene like the Mansons that she somehow after killings gets away and sort of disappears. She has a female lover that she then recognizes in a 9/11 scene on TV and contacts her. Eventually she travels to meet her in NY city where her lover has become part of the establishment but is dying of cancer. Throw in screwed up childhood with sex scenes with her older brother as well as knife play and killing animals, well this is a really screwed up life. It is dark, it is ugly, this person and her actions have not really changed or developed, she is screwed up and scary as she was as a teenager. Her brother went to Vietnam and came back even more screwed up and eventually killed his family and died in a police standoff before he had a chance to burn down the house he was in. There is really not a redeeming person in this book.
I have a very hard time likely this book. I don't like the writer's style of jumbling back and forth and never really getting to a point. The characters are tough and you are not supposed to like them but for those reasons I can't really like this book either.
Well, I will post it at some point on PBS & mail it off, there are 6 WL for it. Still reading the Dick Cheney book and The End of Mr Y. I also started a 1970s action book Swag. Not sure if I will get into a 4th book yet or not.
