More DescriptionSex and love, violence and death, become inextricably intertwined in this compelling tale of a young woman's grief over her sister's unsolved murder. Louise Goldblum is the new 'it' girl on the San Francisco art scene and seems on the cusp of national stardom. Then her sister's body is found in a motel room - naked and with a bullet through her head. Devastated by the loss and in search of self-annihilation, Louise plunges into a dangerous, psycho-sexual affair with photographer Zeke, pushing herself perilously close to re-enacting her sister's fate. Acutely perceptive, deeply engaging and daringly lyrical, Jumping the Green marks the debut of a breathtaking literary voice.
