Powerfully, intensely, passionately, Barbara Raskin's Hot Flashes speaks to a generation of women as none has ever before. Already hailed as a brilliant novel about love, relationships and where women are today, Hot Flashes may be the most heatedly discussed novel of the year.
Hot Flashes hums with tension; it ignites, enflames, and captures a unique era through its protrayal of four unforgettable women: Sukie, Joanne, Elaine, Diana. Their dreams were a mirror of an America in transition, reflecting a turbulent time. Born with FDR was president, teenagers in the fifties when sex was a sin, young wmoen in the turbulent '60s, they now have children as old as they were when JFK was shot, Vietnam began and the Movements and Liberation swept them into a new age. And their lives are changing yet again.
