"Eight stories about relationships between men and women - but especially between fathers and daughters - in a debut from Bliss Broyard."--BOOK JACKET. "The fathers in Broyard's collection are charismatic, seductive, often brilliant men who are large in the world and even larger in the home, irresistible but also harmful, beautiful but not benign."--BOOK JACKET.
"In spare, unsentimental prose, Broyard captures the passages of daughters, both as young girls and as grown women: the early lessons girls absorb through their fathers - their first male audience - and the secrets girls keep as they test their own desires; the dislocation of discovering, and identifying with, a parent's infidelity; the struggle to escape from familial roles and the unyielding impulse to re-create them."--BOOK JACKET.
