Description - The Uses Of Enchantment by Heidi Julavits
A seductive and engrossing third novel from Heidi Julavits, one of the most important and visible young writers on the literary scene. FIRST TIME IN PAPERBACK.
One Autumn day in 1985, sixteen-year-old Mary Veal vanishes from her Massachusetts prep school. A few weeks later she reappears unharmed and with little memory of what happened to her--or at least little that she is willing to share. Was Mary abducted, or did she fake her disappearance?This question haunts Mary's family, her psychologist, even Mary herself.Weaving together three narratives, The Uses of Enchantment conjures a spell in which the hallucinatory power of a young woman's sexuality, and her desire to wield it, has devastating consequences for all involved.
