Living on Air — Anna Shapiro

“Dazzling. . . . A piercing joy.” -- Newsday
In 1966, longing to escape Levittown and her self-absorbed artist father, fourteen-year-old Maude secures a scholarship to a prestigious prep school. As family tensions surface, she struggles to find a morally acceptable place in the worlds of high art and social privilege.
Anna Shapiro is the author of two previous novels, The Right Bitch and Life and Love, Such as They Are, and a collection of essays, A Feast of Words.
