Bridey Sullivan, a young American woman who has fled a peculiar and traumatic upbringing in Washington State, takes up with a queer British couple, the poet Milo Rollack and Eton drop-out Jasper Lethe. Slipping in and out of homelessness, addiction, and under-the-table jobs, they create their own kind of family as they struggle to survive. Jasper's madness and consequent death frame a narrative of emotional intensity. In its midst this trio become linked to an act of terrorism. The group then splinters, taking us from Athens to the cliffs of the Mediterranean, and to modern-day New York. Whether in the red light district of Athens or in the world of fire jumpers in the Pacific Northwest, we are always in a space of gorgeously wrought otherness." -- $c Amazon.com 650 0 $a Young women $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Gay couples $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Terrorism $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Bildungsromans. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Literature & Fiction. $2 local 941 $a 6 952 $l USUX851 $d 20200806024909.0 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20181006103759.0 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20171230035909.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20170802013348.0 952 $l KSPG296 $d 20170718010745.0 952 $l GDPF771 $d 20170418122537.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=D9810152FE4C11E69FC2E4A3DAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
