Query: Who really wrote this novel?

I still cannot believe it's Gail Godwin writing this novel. It seemed as if it were written by someone else in the 1950's and then updated with uncensored language. The main character was too well adjusted and independent given her history of abuse by her stepfather. This abuse did not stop her from having a guilt-free affair with a much older man. I can understand that she needed to be aggressive but she was sometimes too savvy for her age and then too naive based on her background. It was difficult to finish, a disappointment for me.
