STEPS OF THE SUN
EVA THADDEUS
This winner of the Ariadne Prize for best first novel illuminates how the loves
and conflicts of separate lives in a university town become deeply connected, and
how the course of each life is driven where no one anticipates.
In the words of Mary Gordon: "This is a novel of unusual scope and breadth of
ambition... It has a moral center and a political intelligence, warmed and deepened
by sensuality."
Eva Thaddeus attended Stuyvestant High School, Lesley College, and Harvard.
She uses her own experience in teaching and with homeless shelters and coop–
erative living arrangements to develop the background for this remarkable first
novel. Hardcover, 244 pages, $21.95
