Written with razor-sharp wit and keen psychological insight, this compelling novel explores the way people--husbands, wives, parents, children, lovers--use and abuse each other. Under the meticulously maintained social conventions of the wealthy Warner family lie more primitive impulses and desires. As each character faces a crisis, we start to see the fascinating ways in which they make moral choices. "Philipson gives us a very believable portrait of a marriage. He also gives us no easy answers . . . and best of all, real storytelling." -- Publishers Weekly "This solid and serious novel emerges as not just an expose of what really goes on behind the well-groomed facades of the affluent, but a thoughtful exploration of character and the efficacy of moral action in forming and reforming it." --Jane Larkin Crain, New York Times Book Review "A swift, no-fudging narrative by a writer it is always rewarding to rediscover." --Sophie Wilkins, National Review "An extraordinary novel, fascinating, compelling, and totally disconcerting." -- Fort Worth Star-Telegram "Has the drama, intelligence and moral force of an American Howards End." -Cynthia Ozick
