Thea Cranbrook, recently widowed and burdened with the problems of two grown-up daughters, has little time for thinking of her own, but when Harriet leaves her husband and Lizzy falls in love with a man old enough to be her father she finds herself facing, for the first time, the fact that her own marriage might have been less than perfect. The difficulties with which the various age groups enmesh themselves in each other, so that the feelings of mother and daughters merge and are resolved, make an absorbing study of two generations, hoping and striving for an elusive happiness.

WOMEN is a novella about falling in love with a woman, about loving women, about being a woman. It is a novella about a mother and a daughter. A novella about female friendships that blur the line of romance. A novella about a woman who, after having her first sexual relationship with a woman, goes on a series of (comical) OK Cupid dates with other women. A novella about a woman in her twenties who doesn't know if she's gay or straight or bi. A novella about falling in love and having your heart broken and figuring out what to do next. The book is an urgent recall of heartbreak, of a stark identity in crisis.
