--Winner of the James Jones Literary Society First Novel Award

Wareham's simple, steady prose and aversion to glass-shattering drama elevate a potential cliche into unsettling intensity. --Entertainment Weekly

From a Connecticut sanitarium, 24-year-old Betsy Scott tells her doctor a story about the destructive secrets in an outwardly successful family. A series of affairs take her into increasingly dark situations, from private-school Manhattan, to the outskirts of Queens, the downtown loft of a broker, the suburban house of a doctor in Scarsdale. Since You Ask is about the origins of sexual compulsion, and one young woman's attempts to be free.
