    I can't really say I "enjoyed" this book, but I don't think the author really intended for the reader to experience many positive feelings while reading this tale though. In that respect, this story about an unhappily married pair of egocentric 1950's suburbanites excels. It is the kind of book that sticks with you even days after you finish it.

In the hopeful 1950s, Frank and April Wheeler appear to be a model couple: bright, beautiful, talented, with two young children and a starter home in the suburbs. Perhaps they married too young and started a family too early. Maybe Frank's job is dull. And April never saw herself as a housewife. Yet they have always lived on the assumption that greatness is only just around the corner. But now that certainty is about to crumble.

With heartbreaking compassion and remorseless clarity, Richard Yates shows how Frank and April mortgage their spiritual birthright, betraying not only each other, but their best selves.
