Synopsis
Oates writes about an American family in the 1950s in an ordinary working-class town in upstate New York. Lyle and Hannah are trapped in an unfulfilling marriage, their son Warren is an idealistic misfit, and their daughter Enid Maria enters into an obsessive liaison with her uncle, a professional boxer.

Series:A William Abrahams Book

Publisher's Note
Under the respectable surface of an ordinary white-collar family in the conformist 1950s, an obsessive love breaks every convention as it seeks fulfillment.

Industry reviews
"...Rallies all [her] strengths and is exceedingly fine--a storm of experience whose realities are knocked out, a fusion of fact and feeling, vision and circumstance, which holds together, and holds us to it, through our terror and dismay."
John Updike

You Must Remember This

Book Club Edition 

Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly
Prolific writer Oates demonstrates awesome talent in her new novel, a family saga, set against the backdrop of conservatism that marked America in the 1950s. Through the actions of Lyle Stevick and his family, Oates creates a vivid portrait of bewildered, inarticulate people pushed against the narrow boundaries of their era by their emotions. Lyle is a man of small failures and smaller successes, a dealer in used furniture whose marriage is a continual reminder of one moment's misspent passion. He regards his brother Felix, a boxer, with cynicism born of envy. Lyle loves his children, but clearly does not know them. He is blind to his daughter Enid's affair with the virile Felix. Oates is not easy on her characters. She moves them through McCarthyism, backyard fallout shelters and illegal abortions, slapping them with harsh reflections of their weaknesses. Fully developed, they are described in language that is both elegant and gritty. The scenes between Enid and Felix add a pulsing, sensate eroticism. Infused with narrative energy, this is one of Oates's strongest books in many seasons.

Review:                                                          Disturbing in its innocence and maturit

One of the best books I have ever read. An insightful account of sexual abuse and incest from the point of view of a young girl. 

 The book is in excellent condition.
