Summary |
"These eighteen classic stories from across John Updike's career form a luminous chronicle of the life and times of one marriage in all its rich emotional complexity. In 1956, Updkie published a story...about a young couple, Joan and Richard Maple, at the beginning of their marriage. Over the next two decades, he returned to these characters again and again, tracing their years together, raising children, finding and losing moments of romantic rapport, and facing the heartbreak of infidelity and estrangment"--From publisher's description. |
