Mona Simpson writes about two women--one poor, one wealthy--in a Wisconsin town, as they move from girlhood in the 1950s to old age after the turn of the 21st century. What binds them together is their relationship with a man who is the employer (and unrequited longtime crush) of one, and the fleeting lover of the other. A New York Times Notable Book for the year 2000.
