<DIV><B>The award-winning author of&#160;<I>Minor Characters</I>&#160;writes with delicious transparency about a love that cannot be harnessed and a woman who refuses to be deceived</B><BR /><BR />In the great wave of husband-leaving ushered in by the Sexual Revolution, Molly Held&#160; 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&mdash;the charismatic radical lawyer who has recently become her lover. Having escaped from a desert, she lands in a swamp.<BR />&#160;<BR />While Conrad radiates positive energy, he is unable to tell Molly&mdash;or anyone who loves him&mdash;the truth. No longer the wronged wife, Molly now finds herself the Other Woman. She is sharing Conrad with Roberta, another refugee from marriage&mdash;with Conrad&rsquo;s movements between the two of them disguised by his suspiciously frequent out-of-town engagements.&#160;<BR />&#160;<BR />Roberta either knows nothing or prefers to look the other way, but Molly&rsquo;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&mdash;or the reader.</DIV>
