Trying to find an affordable living space, she stumbles across a Craigslist posting that will change her life: a room with a view in a pre-war Greenwich Village apartment. The rent is a pittance, but in exchange, the tenant must be willing to read aloud daily to the apartment's sight-impaired landlady. Liz quickly figures out that the sight-impaired landlady is none other than Anne Taussig Weil, author of the 1965 international blockbuster The Vengeance of Catherine Clark and the very woman whose refusal to cooperate for the past four years has held up Liz's dissertation on the feminist works of mid-century women novelists. Access to Weil is the key to completing her doctorate at Columbia and finally getting her academic career back on track. Liz sets scruples aside and presents herself as a quiet young woman still finding her way in life. Once settled in, Liz learns from Weil that her need for a reader stems from a desire to revisit a key episode in her life. That episode, recorded in the scrawled journals Weil kept since she was a young girl, turns out to be the story of her passionate, disastrous, secret love affair with a celebrated pianist--the affair, in fact, which gave rise to the plot of Vengeance"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Women doctoral students $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Women novelists $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Apartments $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Vision disorders $v Fiction. 651 0 $a New York (N.Y.) $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Thrillers (Fiction) $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Psychological fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Detective and mystery fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Novels. $2 lcgft 941 $a 1 952 $l GHPD771 $d 20230511010136.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=20FBD126EFC111EDAE65B74A2EECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
