  • "At age fifty, Pippa Lee is the devoted wife of a brilliant and successful older publisher, the proud mother of successful twins, and an adored friend and neighbor. She and her husband have recently cast off Gramercy Park for Marigold Village in mature anticipation of oncoming old age and a serene new chapter of life. But under the surface, Pippa's past--a past of surprising grit, deceit, and betrayal has begun to seep in and invade her present. In her reckless youth, she had an affair with a teacher, ran away from home, got heavily involved with drugs, and was set adrift in the wilds of New York before managing to find love and create a family of her own. With quirky humor and intelligence, Rebecca Miller unfurls a life story of continuous revelations in this wise and acute portrait of the many lives behind a single name."
  • "At fifty, Pippa Lee seems just fine. The devoted wife of a brilliant publisher thirty years her senior, the proud mother of successful twins, and a lovely and adored friend and neighbor, she seems to glow with feminine serenity. But when her husband decides they should leave behind Gramercy Park for Marigold Village retirement home as a preemptive strike against his decrepitude, Pippa finds her beatific persona unravelling in alarming ways. The truth is that Pippa Lee has a past of grit, deceit, and betrayal -- an affair with a teacher, becoming a runaway, and being heavily involved with drugs."@en

  • "Pippa Lee is the devoted wife of a brilliant man thirty years her senior, the proud mother of grown up twins, and an adored friend and neighbour. But where once she was content with this world, Pippa now finds her life beginning to unravel. Amid the buzzing lawnmowers and suburban coffee mornings, she starts to wonder how she found herself in this place."
  • "Trading Manhattan's Gramercy Park for a mind-numbing retirement community, Pippa Lee's aging husband sends his youngish wife into the doldrums. At fifty, Pippa is not yet ready to relinquish her stimulating life in the city. And what a life it's been. Running away from her Dexedrine-addicted mother in high school after a passionate affair with a teacher, Pippa pushed every boundary of her new identity as a New Yorker. Situating herself in an avant-garde circle of friends, she relished the club scene, leaving broken hearts in her wake. Then she met Herb, a brilliant publisher thirty years her senior who swept her off her feet and introduced her to the world of motherhood and monogamy."@en
