Some women shop. Some eat. Dora cures the blues by bingeing on books--reading one after another, from Flaubert to bodice rippers, for hours and days on end. Dora is an indiscriminate book junkie whose life has fallen apart--her career, her marriage, and finally her self-esteem. All she has left is her love of literature, and the book benders she relied on as a child. Ever since her larger-than-life father wandered away, Dora and her sister Virginia have clung to each other, enduring a childhood filled with literary pilgrimages instead of summer vacations. Somewhere along the way Virginia made the leap into the real world, but Dora isn't quite there yet. Along the way she faces some powerful choices--between two irresistible men; between idleness and work; and most of all between the joy of well-chosen words and the untidiness of real people and real life.--From publisher description
