New York: Putnam, (1986) dj. Hardcover first edition - A novel with a deceptively simple title by this National Book Award winning writer - it "starts with the return of Dennie Hensley to America for her mother's funeral. (The wife of a diplomat, she now lives in Rome.) When Marilyn Groves, a woman Dennie has known casually for years, invites her to an outing on a Vermont lake, she accepts, despite misgivings. . . the women are interrupted by an intruder whom they fear, although he leaves them unharmed. The next day the man who had invaded the camp returns, this time bent on rape and murder. The women survive the horror, but later revelations, up to the ironic close, leave the reader shaken."
