Wonderful Writer

I read this book years ago and have not read any other works by this author as it is rare to come across her work, which is a shame. This is witty and intelligent novel about an the wife of an academic taking a hiatus in the southwest from her marriage. Ann encounters a series of bohemian types who are in fact as tightly wound as any Wall Street banker, they just have a different agenda to push. The novel includes an observation I have found true time and time again; these types often have hidden resources that allow to pursue alternate lifestyles. The sharp observations of Ann and her own wry self awareness made for an excellent read.
