In The Language Of Love

Joanna, who has been brought up to believe that happiness is hers if she does the right thing, begins to understand that her life is determined as much by chance as by careful control. Her search for love leads her to a complex reality that includes more than the romance she dreamed of, encompassing the guilty but savored passion of an affair with a married man, the poignant caring for an aging father, and the visceral bonding between mother and child. She must come to understand and encompass this intricate web of emotion as a woman, a lover, a wife, and a mother. This inventive first novel is a collage of one woman's emotional coming of age, told in 100 short, brilliant chapters, each one based on a stimulus word from the Standard Word Association Test.
