Julia loves her artist friends living in New York City's Greenwich Village in the 1950's post-World War II euphoria of peace, freedom and opportunity. For security she marries Walter, a super-salesman who gives her a house in upscale New Rochelle, a country club and a Cadillac but who derides Bohemian artistes.. Her stifling life with Walter prompts Julia to . .return frequently to her Village friends, including Jack, her first lover and best friend; Ben, who offers her unconditional love; and Joe, charming, irresponsible and with sex-to-die-for. Their lives intertwine as they seek self-understanding and fulfillment of their abilities and dreams. Their lives are framed against the background of McCarthyism's political witch hunts and suppression of free speech. When life with Walter becomes unbearable, Julia decides to leave him. Who will she go to? Jack? Ben? Joe? They have moved on with their lives. Is it too late? Is there no choice but to go back to Walter?The atmosphere of New York City of the 1950s, its sights and sounds, leap off the pages of this book.
