Patricia Highsmith is unafraid to admit that human beings can have really uncharitable thoughts. But here is a love story and she illuminates the way a person can fall in love, and how this can change a life (or two). The suspense that builds steadily and urgently is about the exquisite longing one person feels for another---and then it becomes about whether this particular love can survive. In 1950s New York City a woman falling for a woman was considered fairly impossible.

Boy meets girl in a dystopian near-future, where America is terminally indebted to China, obsessed with the superficial, and controlled by the Bipartisan Party, represented by a cartoon otter in a cowboy hat. Intentionally following an old-fashioned, Chekov- or Tolstoy-esque plotline and told in alternating journal entries and electronic correspondence, immortality-obsessed Lenny and over-parented Eunice find both love and heartbreak in this aptly-named romance/satire.
