The God of Nightmares (Paperback)

Vividly rendered...haunting....[Paula Fox] writes with silken ease and a sensitivity to nuance."—Newsday

In 1941, twenty-three-year-old Helen Bynum leaves home for the first time and sets out from rural New York to find her Aunt Lulu, an aging actress in New Orleans. There she finds a life of passion and adventure, possibilities and choices. Falling in with a bohemian group of intellectuals, she discovers romance and sex, friendship and risk, her world mirrored by the steamy mystery of the French Quarter.

"One of America's best novelists."—Shirley Hazzard

"Haunting, lyrical....A coming-of-age outing stamped with a mastery that less mature writers can only hope to eventually achieve."—Atlanta Journal-Constitution
