The crowded joys & familiar despair of poor, back-alley life in 1950 Pittsburgh have a hold on most people there, but there are those who need to escape. Jeremiah Henderson & his woman, Willet Mercer, set their sights on New York City
- but making good is easier said than done. Left with no choice but to give in to the pimp who'd like to try Willet on for size before selling her to his clientele, Jeremiah & Willet try to focus on the future. But just before the pimp has his way with her, Willet balks, stabbing him to death in the back of his car. Horrified, but, nonetheless now flush with the pimp's fat wad & fancy Buick, it looks as if they may be in sight of their dreams; they just have to make one last stop outside Wilmington, North Carolina, where Willet intends to see the little boy she abandoned long ago.

This wonderful novel tells the story of seventeen-year-old Cassandra & her extraordinary family, who live in not-so-genteel poverty in a ramshackle old English castle. Cassandra's eccentric father is a writer whose first book took the literary world by storm but he has since failed to write a single word & now spends most of his time reading detective novels from the village library. Cassandra's elder sister, Rose
- exquisitely beautiful, vain & bored
- despairs of her family's circumstances & determines to marry their affluent American landlord, Simon regardless of the fact she does not love him. She is in turns helped & hindered in this by their bohemian step-mother Topaz, an artist's model & nudist who likes to commune with nature. Finally there is Stephen, dazzlingly handsome & hopelessly in love with Cassandra. Amidst this maelstrom Cassandra strives to hone her writing skills.

By the time she pens her final entry, she has captured the heart of the reader in one of literature's most enchanting entertainments
