New York: Alfred A. Knopf, 2001. dj. Hardcover first edition - Perhaps it is women who relate most to the wonderful opening sentence of this novel:'Once upon a time there was a woman who discovered she turned into the wrong person.' but I think the dilemmas faced by her characters are much more universal. A wise, sometimes funny book, set in her hometown of Baltimore, basis for the recent movie of the same name. ISBN: 0-376-412530.
