It's an old friend

When I first read Adult Education, it felt almost not like a book, like the rhythm of Becca and Uli's friendship was simply alive. Becca struggles to get it right, and when she does, it's bittersweet, the way growing up really is. The writing is seductively hip, the story absorbing, and these days serves as a study in 1970's feminism. One of the nicest presents I ever got from my best friend was an extra copy of the book from an out-of-print sale, so that I could pass it on freely. It's nice to see an old friend back again.
