Book description
An intoxicating yet sensitive novel about the sexual experiences of ten
couples from Tarbox, New England. Well-to-do, sociable, articulate but
dangerously unfulfilled; they play word games in the evening and
adultery all year round.
Born in Pennsylvania, John Updike has lived in Massachusetts since
1957 as a freelance writer.
A highly successful novelist and poet, he has received the Pulitzer
prize for two of his novels in the Rabbit series, Rabbit is Rich and
Rabbit at Rest.
