My Escapee -- Posthumous fragments of Veronica Penn -- Examination -- Sink home -- Salvo -- Celebrants -- The Help -- Privations -- Shelter -- A civilizing effect.
Delicate and assured, the stories in My escapee illuminate unseen forces in women's lives: the shameful thought, the stifled hope, the subterranean stresses of marriage, friendship, and family. Grappling with lost memories, escaped time, the longing to be loved, and the instinct for autonomy, the stories peer inside their characters' minds to their benign delusions, their triumphs and defeats -- Provided by the publisher.
