Hearon, Shelby Owning Jolene
Warner Books February 1990 0-446-35944-0 / 9780446359443 Paperback Very Good
Writing with her usual sensitivity aug mented by a larky comic strain, Hear on has created her most appealing heroine in what is arguably her best nove l so far. From the time she was seven, Jolene Temple has been a pawn betwee n her feuding parents, each of whom has become practiced in kidnapping her from the other. She has been left emotionally suspended between two philoso phies of life: that of her stolid, conventional father, "always saving for a rainy day," and of her recklessly adventurous mother, "always saying she enjoyed a little shower." Having adopted a different disguise each time her mother stole her away, at 19 Jolene is still unsure of her real identity; she is at ease only in acting a role. When she meets bland L. W. Dawson, sh e thinks he holds the answers to her quest to be "normal." Meanwhile, howev er, she has been posing for, and has become the mistress of, middle-aged, t wice-divorced artist Henry Wozencrantz, who has much to teach her about fac ing life without running away. Set in present-day Texas of oil-bust hard ti mes ("the whole state is claiming Chapter Eleven"), the novel delivers wick edly funny, incisive social commentary as well as vivid, quirky characters as outsized as the Lone Star State. Hearon ( Five Hun dred Scorpions ) has hit her stride with this delightful, provocative story.
