Every exquisite thing

Nanette has played the role of hard-working student for as long as she can remember. But when a beloved teacher gives her a worn copy of an out-of-print cult-classic, the rebel within Nanette awakens. As she befriends the reclusive author, falls in love with a young troubled poet, and attempts to insert her true self into the world, Nanette learns that sometimes rebellion comes at a price.
