From Library Journal
Norman (Kiss in the Hotel Joseph Conrad and Other Stories, LJ 7/89) here demands that readers suspend disbelief and accept a highly improbable plot. The travesties and tragedies of Laura Andros's life begin when she is sent to an English boarding school. Unhappy there, she becomes the perpetual victim of a group of bullying schoolmates. This unrelenting persecution escalates, and in an act of self-defense Laura kills one of her tormentors. Sent on to Kane House, a juvenile detention center, she is released at age 19 and begins to make a series of bad decisions regarding the opposite sex. Ultimately, this results in her shooting her ex-husband, and in true soap opera melodrama she is on her way back to prison. It's only her enduring friendship with Gus and the love of a somewhat saintly man that keeps this cavalcade of woes from becoming overwhelming. Although published a bit too late for beach reading, this novel has all the attributes that attract public library patrons on the prowl for old-fashioned escapist fiction.
