This is one of my ancient paperbacks and there is no entry as to when I bought the novel.
I gave up on this novel at page 135. I just couldn't get into the 'multiple points of view'.
In broad strokes it is the story of a middle aged man who has a sexual obsession with a fourteen year old girl. The writing was good, but it was just too much trouble trying to figure out whose 'voice' was advancing the storyline. There are various back stories from the young girl's family and each person has a 'voice'.
I would read something else by Joyce Carol Oates and this was not one of her better novels.
