Description
The Seductions of Natalie Bach is a compelling first novel about irrepressible Natalie Bach, who is coming of age in the giddy turbulence of New York in the sixties. Kennedy is shot, the Village is pulsing, and Natalie flees her family and upper-middle-class Jewish background to discover life on her own terms. She haunts the apartment of her friend and former teacher, Maxine, a steamy seductress whose intensity matches Natalie's. Charged with urgency and confusion, their friendship blossoms into a love affair, leaving Natalie confused about her sexual identity. Natalie's journey of self-discovery takes her cross-country to live in the redwoods, to Israel, and back to New York again. She is both seduced and seductress, a headstrong girl who epitomizes the rebellious spirit of the sixties, defying convention to live life on her own terms. The Seductions of Natalie Bach is the stunning debut of a writer with a fresh and original voice.
