Here, in nine wonderfully various, richly tex-
tured stories, are the most telling moments in the
lives of nine women. Among them:
* Myra Rowland, recently widowed, returning to
the resort she had visited year after year with her
husband--and finding the change in her life, the
change in herself, everywhere mirrored in the atti-
tudes of her summer neighbors
* Barbara Eagleton, an elegant black woman in her
forties, who, on the night of her daughter s mar-
riage, takes the first crucial step toward the long-
planned dissolution of her own
* Nancy Martinson, who curses the fate that has
allowed her to be the sole survivor of a plane crash
in which she has lost her entire family--and who
resolves to court death in a chillingly methodical
way
* Angela Taylor, an ambitious businesswoman
whose comfortable, neatly circumscribed world is shaken to its foundations when her female lover
announces the desire--the need--to bear a child
~ Mary Margaret Maclntyre,grown daughter of
working-class Roman Catholics, who shatters the
Wednesday-night family routine (dinner-and-
novena)--breaking through the complacency and
hypocrisy behind which her parents protect them-
selves--as she declares her intention to divorce
her husband.
Here are women young and old, rich and poor,
plain and beautiful--housewives, lovers, daugh-
ters, widows, mothers--nine women whose lives
are opened out to us in prose of elegance and
grace, in stories that reflect a profound under-
standing of the emotional complexities of every-
day life.
