Another Bromfield's novel that I read a long-time ago, and appreciated a lot at the time.

Would be interesting to re-read it to have a more mature view of his writing skills.

I want it to be more than a book about stereotypically oversexed/undersexed sisters in a steel mill, but I don't think it is. Had to return it after 3 renewals and a fifty cent fine.
