Set in the late 1950s, this provocative novel follows Adrianne, a Houston native who has recently arrived in Manhattan and wanders the city having indiscriminate sex with strangers. She soon falls in with Alfredo, a Cuban-American artist who coerces her into prostitution. This gripping exploration of a young woman's search for love and self in the big city is titillating and psychologically haunting in equal measure.
