Beskrivelse

A husband's affair pushes a suburban wife to her breaking point in this ';near perfect comedy of manners' by the Pulitzer Prizewinning author of Real People (The New York Times). Erica Tate wouldn't mind getting up in the morning if her children were less intolerable. Until puberty struck, Jeffrey and Matilda were absolute darlings, but in the last year, they have become sullen, insufferable little monsters. A forty-year-old housewife out of work and out of mind, she finds little happiness in the small college town of Corinth. Erica's husband, Brian, a political science professor, is so deeply immersed in university lifeor more accurately in the legs of his mistress, a half-literate flower child named Wendythat he either doesn't notice his wife's misery or simply doesn't care. Worst of all, their pleasant little neighborhood is transforming into a subdivision. As new ranch houses spring up around their once idyllic home, Erica's marriage inches closer to disaster. When the Tate household tips into full-scale emotional combat, Erica must do her best to ensure that she comes out on top. In this darkly comic tale of a family at civil war, the National Book Awardshortlisted author of Foreign Affairs dives into the deterioration of a marriage. This ebook features an illustrated biography of Alison Lurie including rare images from the author's collection.
