The Life Before Her Eyes

In prose infused with the dramatically feminine sensuality of spring, we experience seventeen-year-old Diana's uncertain steps into womanhood-her awkward, heated forays into sex; her sudden fits of pride that alternate with her deep insecurities; her fresh, fragile construction of an identity. And against the stunning precision of the sights and sounds of renewal, we experience the tasks of Diana's adulthood-protecting her beloved daughter and holding onto her successful husband, her exuberance muted by the relief of having made a home and a life.

  • "Diana stands before the mirror, preening with her best friend, Maureen. Suddenly, a classmate holding a gun, and seventeen-year-old Diana sees her life dance before her eyes. In a moment, the future she was just imaging is sealed by a horrific decision she is forced to make. The novel takes us through Diana's uncertain steps into womanhood, her awkward, heated forays into sex, her fresh, fragile construction of an identity, and her equally tenuous steps as an adult. This is a story of consciousness that encompasses the truth of a teenager's world and the profound transformation of that the world at midlife."@en

L'Amérique des années 90 aura-t-elle vraiment changé dans un futur proche ?"
