Synopsis
Stumbling upon the endless pleasures - romantic, sexual and otherwise - to be found in the company of women, Owen Mackenzie strives to cling to the dreamlike sense of leading a charmed and happy life. But, as Mackenzie knows only too well, the addictive nature of infidelity can often be the undoing of a man.

Review
"Updike in top form, every sentence a marvel of insight and imagery . . . wise and elegiac and warmed by the sense of reconciliation with the most vexatious elements of Updike's fiction: women and sex."--"People "(Critic's Choice)
"As powerful as anything to be found in Updike . . . full of pointed, humorous and occasionally acerbic remarks on contemporary life."--"Chicago Tribune"
" "
"Eloquent, erotic . . . a gorgeous geography of desire."--"O: The Oprah Magazine"
"From the eBook edition."
