内容简介:PRAISE FOR LADY OF THE SNAKES ? "Rachel Pastan is a writer of immense intelligence and charm, and the delightful Lady of the Snakes beautifully showcases her talent."—Hilma Wolitzer, author of Summer Reading and Hearts ? "Both a clever academic novel and a cunning literary detective story, Lady of the Snakes is perhaps most remarkable in its unflinching and compassionate portrait of its heroine, a young woman struggling to manage the competing demands of marriage, motherhood and career. This is a marvelous, fearless book."—Ann Packer, author of The Dive from Clausen’s Pier and Songs Without Words ? "With wry humor and refreshing candor, Rachel Pastan depicts the triumphs and travails of a working mother; an academic whose scholarly research reveals with startling clarity just how far women have come and how far we've still to go. Lady of the Snakes is a smart, witty, and gutsy novel."—Binnie Kirshenbaum, author of An Almost Perfect Moment and Hester Among the Ruins
