The edgy diary of a 1960s housewife’s adventure of self-realization.

Turning 29 years old, Janet Giddings Kurland starts a journal and records her comfortably routine suburban lifestyle. But when she rolls the dice with her friend’s husband, she starts down a path that will lead her to the hip streets of Greenwich Village. Amidst the sexually free, Janet blossoms and her housewife’s journal turns into a sex diary filled with unexpected encounters, dangerous partners, and drug-fueled sexual escapades.

Will her adventures destroy her? Or will she find, as the poet William Blake proclaimed, that the road of excess leads to the palace of wisdom?

The trouble with Eden is that it wouldn’t be half as fascinating as Bucks County, Pennsylvania. This novel bounces good-naturedly along from incest to suicide (pills, rope, alcohol) to various forms of schizophrenic-paranoic delusions amid the steady background patter of couplings and triplings of every sexual combination of what must be the finest demonstration this side of the Kama Sutra — Something for Everyone... A bright and casual entertainment, with a set of extremely witty and likable characters who always manage to say the right thing (even if it’s the wrong thing) in the most obligingly down-to-earth way.”
