"Searingly honest and sexually explicit, So We Look to the Sky is a novel told in five linked stories that begin with an affair between a student and a woman ten years his senior ... [and] weaves themes including sex, love, the female body, gossip, and the bullying that leaves young people feeling burdened and helpless"-- Provided by publisher
