They visit the Soviet Union and in the course of the visit, flashbacks & reminiscences tell their story. It is a philosophical love story, mostly, with other questions of aesthetics & ethics included too. I didn't care so much about the characters so that made the book slow going. It also reads as somewhat dated in 2008. no reviews | add a review
Distinctions
The novel begins and ends in Nantucket, but roams forty years of American culture from the 1940's to the 1980's through the lives of three friends whose paths diverge and converge. Edmund, Claire, and Sophie, friends--and sometimes lovers--for thirty years, travel to the Soviet Union, hoping to plan for the last third of their lives and to resolve the struggles and confusions of the previous three decades.
