Going Down Fast

By Marge Piercy

Book Overview

As a blighted neighborhood is invaded by a university -- an institution that promises to bring new life -- the people who live there are forced to go along with too many changes, too fast. There is Anna, a woman living through a succession of losses -- marriage, job, home, and lover. And Rowley, a blue-eyed soul singer whose greatest limitation is his belief that he is powerless. Together with Leon, an underground filmmaker, and Caroline, a beautiful woman with a dark and desperate secret, they watch the progress of the wrecking ball, hoping, as always, for something better . . . maybe even love.

MY OPINIONS AND THE OPPOSITE OF RELATIONSHIPS.

A VERY ENTERTAINING AND BREATH TAKING STORY BY MARGE PIERCY " GOING DOWN FAST" DESCRIBES ABOUT A WOMAN NAMED ANNA.A PERSON WHO IS VERY SUCCESSFUL IN LIVING THE ROUGHNESS IN LIFE OF HOW TWO PEOPLE HANDLE MARRIAGES AND LOOSING THEIR JOBS.IT SHOWS HOW MANY DIRECTIONS IN LIFE PEOPLE FACED THROUGH.I THINK THAT THIS STORY INSPIRED ME,IT SHOWED ME THAT LIFE AND COMMITMENT OUT THERE ISN'T EASY. I REALLY RECOMMEND THIS BOOK TO THE ROMANTIC TYPE OF LOVERS OUT THERE.
