Synopsis
In a near-future America on the brink of political upheaval, a young woman named Margaret retreats from her stagnant marriage to housesit in isolation, where her unconscious mind emerges as a separate narrating personality. This hallucinatory novel charts Margaret's sexual and emotional self-realization as her conscious and subconscious selves learn to confront each other.
