New York from the 1930s to the 1970s is the setting for this moving novel by Richard Yates. The story focuses on Sarah and Emily Grimes, two sisters who build their lives on opposite paths. Sarah seeks stability in marriage and family, while Emily longs to find answers in ephemeral relationships, trying to escape loneliness. Through their lives, Yates explores themes of loneliness, disillusionment, and the pursuit of happiness in a changing world.
Richard Walden Yates was an American fiction writer identified with the mid-century "Age of Anxiety." His first novel, Revolutionary Road, was a finalist for the 1962 National Book Award, while his first short story collection, Eleven Kinds of Loneliness, brought comparisons to James Joyce. Critical acclaim for his writing, however, was not reflected in commercial success during his lifetime.
