?Safe was not what she wanted. It carried the reputation of being without hope. It forced you to operate out of a restricted area where you loved at arm?s length, a well behaved fan. No harm could ever come to you; you would have plenty of advance warning and you could always jump out of the way. It wasn?t so much sex she wanted as the monumental moments leading up to it. An extended series of discoveries...? A chance meeting at her local Bagel Buffet changes Fiarette?s life. There she meets Marabea who cleans apartments and dreams of diets. Fiarette becomes Marabea?s friend with devastating consequences for both women. With wry irony, Silvia Sanza creates characters whose hold on reality is as tangential and episodic as the lives they, and we, lead.
