May Sarton (1912-1995) was an acclaimed poet, novelist, and memoirist.
"May Sarton has never been better than she is in this beautiful,
harrowing novel about being old, unwanted, yet refusing to give up.
. . . The problems of old age have been detailed by sociologists
but only a novel as searching and deeply felt as this one can bring
them so close to the bone." -- Margaret Manning - Boston Globe
"A brief, strong statement. . . . A convincing record of evil done
and good intentions gone astray. . . . A powerful indictment." --
Ellen Douglas - New York Times Book Review
