From the dust jacket. From the acclaimed filmmaker, artist, and bestselling author of No One Belongs Here More Than You comes a spectacular debut novel that is so heartbreaking, so dirty, so tender, so funny -- so Miranda July -- readers will be astonished. Cheryl Glickman believes in romances that span centuries and a soul that migrates between babies. She works at a women's self-defense nonprofit and lives alone. When her bosses ask if their twenty-year-old daughter, Clee, can move into her hose for a while, Cheryl's eccentrically ordered world explodes. And yet it is Clee -- the selfish, cruel blond bombshell -- who bullies Cheryl into reality and, unexpectedly, leads her to the love of a lifetime. Tender, gripping, slyly hilarious, infused with raging sexual fantasies and fierce maternal love, Miranda July's first novel confirms her as a spectacularly original, iconic, and important voice today, and a writer for all time.
