Have some sympathy, please, for a tailor's publicist facing the wartime challenge of getting Jennifer Lopez into one of his client's gowns. And, Lo, she looked ravishing in a vintage off-the-shoulder Grecian-style number (that was once worn by Jacqueline Kennedy) with flowered brocade edging I last saw on my Aunt Margaret's bedspread...

As you float along the surfaces of Martha Sherrill's haunting and evocative first novel, you experience something of a waking dream: the It girl of the moment is telling a journalist, "At my deepest point, my still point, I am water," when suddenly, almost inexplicably, you get pulled into something deeper. Stars somehow possess...
