Set in a feverish swamp town in Florida, \u003ci\u003eThe Lifting Dress\u003c\/i\u003e enters the life of a teenage girl the day after she has been raped. She refuses to tell anyone what has happened, and moves silently toward adulthood in a community that offers beauty but denies apology. Through lyric narratives, readers watch her shift between mirroring and rejecting the anxious swelter of her world, until she ultimately embraces it with the same violent affection once tendered to her.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Lauren Berry\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0143119656\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780143119654\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Penguin Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/31\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 80\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.25lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.70h x 5.90w x 0.30d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/20\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/01\/2011 pg. 102","brand":"Lauren Berry","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47243966513407,"sku":"9780143119654","price":22.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_3ba4ea9d-0bd0-455f-9c6b-08934518b64a.jpg?v=1758134607","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-lifting-dress-lauren-berry-9780143119654","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
