What is The Year It Rained about?

Elizabeth Stein, seventeen, is an uneasy survivor. Back from a year of madness, she finds that everyone she knows is falling apart and the questions she asks seem to have no answers. But the past—including the year it rained—must be untangled. Her father, a well-known Hollywood biographer, is sliding toward alcoholism. Her mother, the one "everyone wants," is trapped by a lifetime of self-denial. Then, there are Elizabeth's two boyfriends: Hal, the older history teacher, and Jonathan, her own age, whose electrifying lovemaking excites and terrifies her. Her lost friend, Tabby, can't help her now; neither can the stream of therapists, psychiatrists, and psychologists whose terrible mistakes and superficial solutions only make things worse. Thoughtful, keenly self-observant, feisty, and self-mocking, she's determined not to be a victim. In powerfully moving prose that will inevitably be compared to The Bell Jar and I Never Promised You a Rose Garden, Crescent Dragonwagon has written a rich and sensual novel about one young woman's awakening as an adult and as an artist. Elizabeth's story is about loss and recovery, fear and hope, and the courage to pursue self-understanding. From Nat
