(2) YA Teenage siblings Lex and Marina have always been close, but their closeness goes too far one night. Young adults may not get all the book's allusions to T. S. Eliot, but they will understand that the siblings' relationship is loving, not abusive or perverted. Block hedges her bets with a surprise ending; nevertheless, this exploration of tenderness, passion, and despair is ultimately a haunting love story.
