Philip Roth Loves Me

On a June evening in 1964, in the mythical town of Pennswalk, Pennsylvania, 14-year-old Leanne Hughs meets 31-year-old Philip Roth at a backyard luau. Though her parents are often too busy to respond immediately to the fast-moving events of America in the mid-20th century, Leanne, the All-American Girl, always has her finger on the pulse. Roth is immediately drawn to the precocious teen. Leanne is likewise smitten with the handsome author of Goodbye, Columbus. Roth becomes her mentor, and she becomes his muse as they navigate the rupture of America during the years between 1964 and 1974. A new novel by Nancy Bagshaw-Reasoner.
