- Synopsis
- Cee has moved from NYC to North Carolina where she has divorced her husband for carpeting their Victorian home (surprise!) in orange shag. Now she has accepted a job painting a mural in a bar to try to help her daughter's wayward friend, Fawne (who wants to be called "Fauve"), and ends up getting less help and more trouble than she bargained for. The bough breaks when the truth is discovered, that Cee's daughter Ariel is neck-deep in alcoholism. The girls' troubles are more poignant for Cee because she was helped through her own teenage crises by the brazen eccentricities of her old Brooklyn girlfriend, Elspeth, who makes an appearance at the end of the novel, resembling "a tonsured mole."
