About
A professor. A student. An obsession gone awry. Effie Latimer is on a quest, a heroine's journey to find herself. But dragon-slayers, explorers who are challenged to follow the wisdom of the heart, are rarely female. (Yes, there's Joan of Arc, but look what they did to her.) This contemporary women's fiction is a sometimes humorous psychological study of a woman in the throes of loss, a woman who listens to her heart but forgets to heed her head.
Set in the late 1980s, the novel tells the story of Effie's obsessive love for a professor, Walter Rabinowitz. When Walter dumps her, as he has many other coeds, Effie decides to exact revenge-not in a malicious way, though one certainly troubling to her mentor. This literary satire explores themes of relationships, betrayal, and self-discovery, asking: Can Effie find strength and support in female friendships and ultimately emerge from the haunting of Walter Rabinowitz?
