Review:
"Marry Me is superb, sharp, witty, perceptive, honest. . . . With keen intelligence, Updike has cut a slice of life the width of one town, the height of one feverish summer, the depth of four people trying to understand why their center does not hold--and turned it into a mirror of our modern popular wisdom."--Chicago Daily News "Updike's most mature work . . . His writing has deepened, grown wiser and funnier, like a face that is aging well."--The Atlantic "It is, quite simply, Updike's best novel yet."--Newsweek

Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. From one of the most gifted American writers of the twentieth centuryand the author of the acclaimed Rabbit series: a novel set in 1962 in Greenwood, Connecticut, where Jerry Conant and Sally Mathias are in love and want to get married, though they already are married to others. A diadem of five symmetrical chapters describes the course of their affair as it flickers off and on, and as their spouses react, in a tentative late-summer atmosphere of almost-last chances. For this is, as Jerry observes, the twilight of the old morality, and theres just enough to torment us, and not enough to hold us in. Originally published in hardcover in the United States by Alfred A. Knopf, in 1976. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
