Moon Passage

Janet LeCompte. HarperCollins Publishers, $8.95 (0pp) ISBN 978-0-06-091690-9

When 20-year-old ``other woman'' Ellen Cassidy arrives unannounced at the secluded California seaside home of 45-year-old Alice Ellis, the two clash, but gradually learn to understand each other in fundamental ways. ``Although LeCompte is an accomplished writer,'' said PW , ``her characters do not achieve the credibility of warmblooded human beings.''
