"This utterly unexpected book dives straight into the chaos of an American adolescence, echoing the infernal laughter of William S. Burroughs as it probes the messier forms of sexual awakenings."-Details
"House Rules . . . ventures off the map into an uncharted, quite terrifying strip of psychological badlands."-The Village Voice
The narrator of Lewis' amazing first novel is 15-year-old Lee, whose story is both a fascinating and disturbing look at the dark side of show horse riding. With extraordinary insight, Heather Lewis describes a world she knew from the inside. Since its first publication 10 years ago, House Rules has established itself as a classic of lesbian literature.
Heather Lewis is the author of two other novels, Notice and The Second Suspect. In 2002, she took her own life at the age of 40.
