The Time of Her Life
ByPublisher Description
Now restored to print -- the acclaimed second novel by the National Book Award-winning author of

. Claudia and Avery Parks, lovers since high school, are now in their thirties. Intelligent, charming, sympathetic, they seem to be the ideal couple, the perfect dinner-party guests, almost everything people should be -- except responsible.

An engrossing domestic tale by a novelist of the first rank -- an ideal selection for reading groups. Robb Forman Dew's first novel,
, received the National Book Award in 1982.
