About this listen
Angie Lanier, the heroine of Kathleen MacArthur's new novel, travels a world away from her Midwest background, where she absorbs a mysterious spell cast upon her by a Balinese priest. Her efforts to learn more about her father prompts flashbacks of her confusion between the values of her modest mother and her outrageous grandmother. Angie's relationship with a free-spirited young congressman, the idol who dominated her childhood fantasies, is immediately jeopardized when she meets a highly principled and compassionate Oxford don. She experiences a life very different from her promising career as a society tattler for a Washington, DC magazine. With wry insight and moments of randy sex, MacArthur invites her listeners to share Angie's efforts to resolve the challenges imposed by the 60s sexual revolution, plus her discovery of a horrific family secret. The novel also includes some not-so-subtle hints of reincarnation.
