One woman's journey into the heart's landscape is mirrored by a
haunting desert odyssey in this novel told in three voices--Stella,
Estella, and Estelle. The narration follows Stella from birth to
age 29 as she confronts epilepsy, death, and lesbianism; Estella as
she confronts the Australian desert and the metaphoric edge of her
consciousness with her lover Olga; and Estelle, the timeless,
mythical voice of women in different cultures and times sharing
their stories that range from the mundane to the frightening. The
final chapter draws all three voices together through an analogy of
comets, snakes, and stars, in which Stella becomes Estella and
Estelle and they move into a literal cosmic realm as one.
