<DIV><DIV><b>Revelations of the mysterious, contradictory heart of everyday life</b></div><DIV><BR>It&rsquo;s one thing for your husband to leave you for another woman, but how is a person supposed to feel when the man of her dreams abandons her for the stars themselves? In the twelve tales of&#160;<i>Women and Children First</i>, Francine Prose shows us an alcoholic trying to improve himself by fasting, a housewife enrolled in the New Consciousness Academy, and a French literature professor who&rsquo;s begun to fear&#160;<i>Madame Bovary</i>. Prose&rsquo;s characters are lost, frightened, and alone&mdash;and far more like us than we might care to admit.</div><DIV></div></div>
