Entering Ephesus


Book Description

This novel, about three school-aged sisters, originally published by Viking Press made Time magazine's Ten Best Fiction List in 1971.This is a large novel which takes its time, a conducted tour with tempting stopovers at many points within a well-known Southern landscape: the fire which is in its belly is considerable, is largely female and Promethean, amoral, devouring, a headlong seeking of height in the perverse depths. -- Times Literary Supplement New American Writing Award
