While I Was Gone by Sue Miller
In 1968, Jo Becker leaves her equally young husband, moves to Boston, changes her name and joins a commune of students. All goes well with her new life until one of her friends is murdered. Thirty years later, happily married with three daughters and practising as a vet, she meets one of her friends from the commune again. This sets off what becomes the real story in this satisfying novel written with much insight into relationships.
