By the author of the award-winning The Coming Storm, a novel about four young people and their intermingled and unwinding desires. Set in Poughkeepsie, where Russell teaches, the novel is filled with local color and tension. A remarkable debut novel from Russell is happily back in print again with this beautiful reissue.
"A wise, tender, and remarkably engrossing story about human affections — their power and illogic, their preciousness and unpredictability — and about how those affections flare and fare at the ‘salt point.’"
— The Wall Street Journal
