A disappointment. I was looking forward to Updike's latest book but was irritated by Owen Mackenzie's lack of willpower! Here is a man at the end of his life trying to convince you that it was never his fault he was unfaithful to his wife but it was always the 'other' women who initiated the affaires. Who is he kidding?
