"May Sarton's provocative novel is about a wife who has outgrown her husband, and after twenty-seven years of marriage decides that she has had enough. . . . she is altogether believable." ―The Atlantic

Reed and Poppy Whitelaw's conventional and apparently serene life together is shattered when Poppy tells Reed that she has decided to leave him. In a series of encounters that follow the shock of this news, which affects not only Reed but also their children and friends―in particular Philip, who must learn why he is so invested in their marriage―Reed and Poppy struggle to make sense of their lives in this alien new terrain.
