In fluid, Freudian recall, here are the emotional and erotic experiences of Anna, the confusion of the ""age of noon.. no longer child nor yet woman"". Of Russian Jewish parentage, Anna became a dancer; had her first real love affair with Dan, liable, unstable; was stimulated (latently Lesbian) in her friendship with the ""v Tess; married Steve who seemed to make her feel safe after Dan and Tess, but bored eventually; had an affair with Lonnie which too reached satiety; and lost Steve during the war... One of those intensely intimate, emotionally expansive probes of a woman internal activities and external outlets which belongs in a diary- not a novel.
