New York: Grove Press, (1989.) dj. Hardcover first edition - A fascinating first novel by this feminist writer. Based on an actual incident this has the immediacy of a documentary - as Brownmiller says 'the day the child died, I began to write, to imagine how the couple from my neighborhood whose image flashed repeatedly across my television screen - a lawyer and a woman with a bashed-in face who had once been a writer - could have traveled the distance from people I might have known to such a nightmare.' Dust jacket art by Wendell Minor. ISBN: 0-8021-10908.
