Richard is an embittered man who thinks Megan is a 'Call Girl', and his misogynistic feelings include his daughter... and Megan. For her part, Megan is strongly attracted to Richard, but thinking he's married, must forget any thoughts of this nature about him... AND... that she's going to become a nun ....
Beyond its central premise, the book can be read through the connected lenses of Nonfiction. Those themes offer useful points of attention as the characters, ideas, or world develop, especially where the book complicates the expectations of its primary category.

This guide uses the edition details and category signals above to help you choose deliberately. It does not replace the author's work or a full review.
Works well for a focused weekend or a few concentrated sittings.

Read for connection, not completion.
Mark one passage that sharpens the book's central concern and one that complicates it. That tension often reveals more than a quick summary.
Three questions to carry with you
- Whose perspective organizes the story, and whose perspective remains outside it?

- How does the book change the way you understand its larger subject?
