In this gripping novel by Pulitzer Prize-winning author Philip Roth, set in a small 1940s Midwest town, Lucy Nelson wrestles with her moral convictions as she attempts to reform the men in her life, including her hapless husband, Roy. Since her childhood, when she had her alcoholic father jailed, Lucy's efforts to instill goodness in others lead her down a path of self-destruction. Roth's compelling portrayal captures a landscape of provincial American piety and the haunting tensions of yearning and discontent.
