A Map of the World
By Jane Hamilton
389 pages;
Vintage/Anchor Books
As Alice is all too aware, her elder daughter Emma is prone
to inexplicable fits of rage, her husband Howard distrusts her maternal
competence, and Prairie Center's tight-knit suburban community shows no signs
of warming to "those hippies who think they can run a farm." A loner
by nature, Alice is torn between a yearning for solitude coupled with a deep
need to be at the center of a perfect family.
