I picked this up at the library sale March 16, 2008. Let's see how long it takes for me to get to this. From the Publisher:

Ferociously paced, Terminal Velocity delineates six wonderfully engaging characters: Artemis Foote, for whom being rich, talented, and beautiful is a kind of game; Jordan, a messianic fugitive who becomes Ellen's lover; Amethyst Woman, a Marxist/Leninist dentist; Ross, a red-diaper baby and now a columnist for Ramparts; and Pearl, an art history professor turned hippie. At the center of this vortex is Ellen, prior to her transformation happily married and a rising young editor at a genteel publishing house in Boston. Together with these women, she is caught in a political and moral tailspin of the Sixties, living in a sexualized world-without-boundaries that leads them, eventually, to destruction, acceptance, and even redemption.

I really don't know what to say. What I thought was going to be a feminist novel about women in the sixties turned out to be a very sad story about two women in love with each other. The sex was too graphic for my taste and for me it took away from the story.
