Synopsis
In the early 1970s, Gillian Brauer, a college student in Massachusetts, falls under the spell of her English professor and his wife, becoming involved with them not only sexually but in other ways. At the same time, an arsonist is loose on campus. And years later, Gillian, on a visit to the Louvre, sees a work of art that recalls the events of those years and forces her to remember things that were better forgotten.

Industry Reviews
"As slim Gothic novels go, there are many worse. As Joyce Carol Oates novels go, there are many better."
New York Times Book Review - Amy Benfer (01/06/2002)
"It's not subtle, but it works. Whenever Oates composes at this length, she doesn't pad or overwrite. The result is a cunning fusion of Gothic romance and psychological horror story, and one of her best recent books."
Kirkus Reviews (10/01/2001)
