The Stain: A Novel (American Literature Series)
"A bold, Rabelaisian mixture of bawdy and horror," said LJ's reviewer of this first novel (LJ 9/15/84). The plot centers on the youth of protagonist Charlotte, who is born with a supposed demonic birthmark that earns her harsh treatment from family and strangers alike in late-19th-century France.Copyright 1995 Reed Business Information, Inc.
