“—OSCAR WILDE Facing me from the other side of the looking glass, in that mysterious reflected room, is the image of “a woman of letters who has turned out badly....” That is what I must remain for everyone, I who no longer write, who deny myself the pleasure, the luxury of writing. —COLETTE NOVEMBER in Connecticut. The flaming leaves of October are just beginning to succumb to the bareness of winter. Orange and yellow and nutmeg brown (this is, after all, “the Nutmeg State”—though who knows... why?)—they line the gutters of the winding country roads, slippery as greased lightning after a heavy rain and just as lethal. Isadora is once again driving QUIM, rushing away from her house so as not to be there when Josh and his girl friend come to pick up Amanda. Let the nanny open the door and deliver Mandy. Isadora finds she can’t bear the sight of the other woman in Josh’s car even though Josh parks so that she can only see the back of her head. The girl is definitely called Wendy, or Wanda, but Josh won’t tell her which it is.MoreLessRead More Read Less
