This is the story of two wives in two marriages forty years apart, 1959 and 1999. Although the two stories are interwoven I did not find much in common between them. The 1959 wife finds an outlet in an affair; the 1999 wife has a career while her husband wants a child. Both stories though are well told, showing how marriage and the place of women has changed in our society in recent decades.
