Provocative, suspenseful, and dangerously sensual, Jane tells the story of a young woman's need to be loved, her wish to be wanted. Perplexed by a world that treats her as an outsider?a girl with foolish, impudent desires?she becomes that girl, using her youth and sexuality to attract and repel. Yearning to be older, to be an adult, she dances at the fringes of power and control in her relationship, ultimately testing notions of perpetrator and victim. Often frightening in its powerful mixture of fantasy and reality, "Jane" skillfully documents the impressionability of a young woman, and flirts with alternate interpretations of sexuality and desire in a difficult, complicated age. "Jane" is a unique co-publication with The Mercury Press of Toronto. Shortlisted, Rogers Communications Writer's Trust Prize for Fiction
