Norma Jean the Termite Queen

A 1975 novel by Sheila Ballantyne (her first) about a housewife who changes. "A crisis novel with the "mad" humor of those perpetually on the defensive, the rage of the frustrated, the dreams and the visions of the dispossessed. It is a novel for anyone who has known the struggle for fulfillment, or for anyone who sensed this struggle - without understanding. A novel for readers everywhere that shows how life plays tricks on us all."
