Description

Ten couples live in Tarbox, an out-of-the-way New England town. Well-to-do, 35-ish, they font an exclusive, competitive group. Ski-ing, entertaining, playing with word- games...and sex. Discreetly, tentatively changing partners, they conduct their rituals, under the baleful eye of their self-appointed ringmaster, Freddy Thorne.

But when Piet Hanema and Foxy Whitman have an affair, they reject expediency and caution. For once, the other unshockable couples are deeply shocked...and Tarbox claims its first sacrificial victims.

John Updike's searching, poetic treatment of the couples' involvements and aberrations serves to expose the life of a community with astonishing particularity. In every sense, he gives us the anatomy of a generation.
