Boston: Houghton Mifflin, 1979. dj. Hardcover first edition - The author's second novel - "Augusta is an elegant young flutist preparing for her debut at Town Hall. In this splendid comedy, she is joined by a cast of wonderfully absurd characters--her husband, his father, her ex-lover, a nightclub stripper, a peeping Tom, and a canary." George Garrett called this "a joy and a delight. It is brilliantly funny... and a classic love story." 304 pp. ISBN: 0-395275733.
