Editorial Reviews
The Boston Globe, Richard Dyer
...[a] spirited and sensitive debut novel... --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
From Booklist
If 1997 was the year of the memoir, then 1998 is starting out to be the year of the older woman^-younger man novel. First came Antonya Nelson's Nobody's Girl, and now we have a novel from Australia exploring the same theme. When 35-year-old Aly, a divorced English teacher, meets Tom, the 15-year-old son of her best friend, each feels strongly attracted to the other. As Aly gives in, almost against her better judgment, and begins an affair with Tom, she discovers that most of her colleagues and friends (especially Tom's parents) are aghast at her decision. As for Tom, his love for Aly has cost him his family, his education, and nearly his life. Can this relationship survive? Even though it is difficult to understand just what Aly sees in Tom, in her first novel Highbridge has written a spare and tender account of the ramifications of falling in love with a person whom society deems wrong.
