"From one of the most gifted American writers of the twentieth century, and the author of the acclaimed Rabbit series: a novel set in 1962 in Greenwood, Connecticut, where Jerry Conant and Sally Mathias are in love and want to get married, though they already are married to others. A diadem of five symmetrical chapters describes the course of their affair as it flickers off and on, and as their spouses react, in a tentative late-summer atmosphere of almost-last chances. For this is, as Jerry observes, 'the twilight of the old morality, and thereâs just enough to torment us, and not enough to hold us in.'" - Penguin Random House.
