Because a Fire Was in My Head by Lynn Stegner

“[S]tunning . . . . The poetic detail of Stegner’s sentences—not to mention her wanton protagonist—is reminiscent of the novels of John Updike. . . . Because a Fire Was in My Head, her most ambitious novel so far, ought to attract for Stegner the wider audience she so richly deserves.” —Julia Scheeres, New York Times Book Review, “Editor’s Choice”
