«The Private Lives of Pippa Lee» is the contemporary novel by Rebecca Miller, published by Canongate in paperback (233 pages, in English).
Pippa Lee, at fifty, seems to have a stable life with her husband, a much older retired editor. When they move to a retirement community near New York, her life begins to unravel; the narrative then reveals the wild youth that led her to that marriage: abandonment, rebellion, transgressions and betrayals.
The work was originally published in 2002; the described edition, from Canongate, dates from 2008.
For readers of contemporary fiction and reading clubs interested in female portraits and how the past conditions a life.
