"Herma is many things: a glamorous story of a singer who rises from the choir of
a country church to stardom at the Paris Opera: the parallel adventures of her
agent and friendly enemy Fred Hite, filled with the excitement of the early days
of aviation; and a provocative sexual intrigue whose twinned her and heroine,
not brother and sister, are forbidden to each other by the secret that lies at
the center of their odd and intimate relationship. From its evocative beginnings
in the pastoral Southern California of the turn of the century, Herma moves on
to larger worlds--first the brash, adolescent San Francisco of the period, then
the Earthquake, then the international world of opera in Paris at the most
luxurious, opulent, and decadent moment of its history. Erotic, bejeweled,
crowded with incident and a big, vivid cast of characters, Herma is MacDonald
Harris's richest and most complex novel and destined to be his most popular. "
