<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>May Sarton's provocative novel is about a wife who has outgrown her husband, and after twenty-seven years of marriage decides that she has had enough. . . . she is altogether believable. --<em>The Atlantic</em><p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Reed and Poppy Whitelaw's conventional and apparently serene life together is shattered when Poppy tells Reed that she has decided to leave him. In a series of encounters that follow the shock of this news, which affects not only Reed but also their children and friends--in particular Philip, who must learn why he is so invested in their marriage--Reed and Poppy struggle to make sense of their lives in this alien new terrain.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>May Sarton again has entered Marquand-Updike territory and fortunately for us has brought to this fictional region the viewpoint of a first-rate craftsman who happens to be a woman vitally interested in both art and life.-- "Boston Herald"<br><br>Produces insight for the reader into the modern dilemma of freedom versus marriage, self-realization versus service and duty and finally the Sisyphean problems of the person alone, living on the threshold of other lives. . . . I find <em>Crucial Conversations</em> moving. . . . May Sarton has dealt with every aspect of female existence, with every kind of love. In this latest novel she has taken another, new step forward, and suggested a radical solution to the human-bondage-in-marriage status.--Doris Grumbach "New York Times Book Review"<br>
