What this book is about
Sandy Pressman, a comfortable suburban wife and mother in New Jersey, is trapped in a passionless marriage to Norm. When a strange motorcyclist begins appearing outside her window, her repressed sexual fantasies surface — and she begins to actually pursue them. Blume's adult novel is frank, funny, and pointed about the psychic cost of 1970s suburban femininity. Written for adult readers, not children.
