Thomas presents interesting heroines: there's the girl in "Sisters" who hates her younger sibling for (among other things) her precise memory. In "Seeing Things," Maude, who "wants to be tan the whole year round," and whose "great ambition is to be whistled at on the street," is told by her younger sister, "You look ridiculous smoking with the chicken pox." And then there are the four stories about Buddy and Virginia, who have to drop out of school and get married after she gets pregnant. From sibling rivalry to marital strife, Thomas uncovers the pain, the poignancy, and the belief in love that lie in the hearts of her heroines.媒体推荐Karen Ray The New York Times Book Review A fresh and captivating voice...Being somebody's daughter, girlfriend, lover or wife is not such an easy condition, though in Ms. Thomas' hands they are all to be explored with joy. --Review
