Haunted Houses by Lynne Tillman
The film noir version of growing up female. In uncompromising prose, Tillman tells the story of three girls, Grace, Emily and Jane, and their transition to womanhood. Colliding with culture, family and friends under dark and comic circumstances, Tillman presents three very contemporary lives in uncanny, disturbing and sometimes shocking terms.
