Taking Shelter

Jessica S. Andersen. Penguin Books, $8.95 (240pp) ISBN 978-0-14-012593-1

In this tale of changing sexual mores, a young woman is courted by a man who wants only a front for his homosexuality; she begins a new, live-in relationship that is complicated by a pregnancy and the arrival of her lover's mother. ``Anderson conveys this heartwarming story in an oblique but witty style, scattering insights and surprises throughout,'' said PW.
