New York: Knopf, 1988. First Edition, First Printing. . Hardcover. Near Fine/Fine. Updike's thirteenth novel takes the form of letters and tapes 42-year-old Sara Worth sends to her husband, mother, daughter and assorted friends and neighbors after abandoning her New England home to join a commune in Arizona. Like Hester Prynne in Hawthorne's "Scarlet Letter," Sara has fallen in love with a religious leader; in Sara's case, a Hindu named Arhat, resulting in a religious comedy, a romance, and Updike's meditation on American womanhood. Boards and text are clean, tight, perhaps a trace of spine lean; dustjacket is close to perfect with very minimal surface and edgewear. A very collectable copy.
