Publisher's Note A woman's quest for a husband takes on a certain urgency in this biting and masterful social satire by the author of "A Cannibal in Manhattan."
Industry Reviews "Florence is a cartoon subjected to cartoon torture. What is interesting about the novel dissolves, and what is left is hard and indigestible..." Time Out (New York) - Ben Greenman (07/15/1999)
"...Janowitz creates a well-rounded, static character....While Florence's declining fortunes in a crass city are well-described, her failure to achieve any wisdom about her life makes it hard to sympathize with her misfortunes." Dawidoff
