About This Book

A first-person narrator reflects on a persistent attraction to other women and the restless idealism that drives her to intervene in a friend's life. Recounting a vivid meeting in a harvest field and other intimate episodes, she describes efforts to comfort, advise, and offer alternative joys while questioning her motives and the realism of her aims. The narrative alternates pastoral scenes and social encounters with inward meditation, exploring female solidarity, self-doubt, moral aspiration, and the difficulty of translating generous impulses into lasting change.
