The award-winning author of Minor Characters writes with delicious
transparency about a love that cannot be harnessed and a woman who
refuses to be deceived In the great wave of husband-leaving ushered in
by the Sexual Revolution, Molly Held frees herself from her cold,
flagrantly unfaithful husband after their final quarrel turns violent.
With her five-year-old son, she lights out for an Upper West Side
apartment and the new life she hopes to find with Conrad
Schwartzberg—the charismatic radical lawyer who has recently become
her lover. Having escaped from a desert, she lands in a swamp.
While Conrad radiates positive energy, he is unable to tell Molly—or
anyone who loves him—the truth. No longer the wronged wife, Molly
now finds herself the Other Woman. She is sharing Conrad with Roberta,
another refugee from marriage—with Conrad’s movements between the
two of them disguised by his suspiciously frequent out-of-town
engagements. Roberta either knows nothing or prefers to look the
other way, but Molly’s maddening capacity for double vision takes
over her mind. What saves her from herself is her well-developed sense
of irony, which never fails her—or the reader.
