Soap opera Dinah Kaufman has a problem: She only loves the ones who leave. Now that she's safely divorced from her brilliant playwright husband, Rudy Gendler, she's free to love again, with a magnificent obsession. Enter once again ex-husband Rudy, the perfect object of a hopeless passion, who has finally found domestic bliss in the dunes of East Hampston, Long Island. When the Hollywood writers' strike gives Dinah perilous free rein to follow her hormones, she sets out for the Hamptons-and Rudy-and a seismic jolt of reality.

The five connected vignettes of actress Fisher's first novel, Postcards from the Edge (LJ 8/87), exhibited greater coherence and stronger plot than this rambling, talky second novel. Here Dinah Kaufman, soap opera writer/producer, works through her divorce from her long-time companion/husband, playwright Rudy Gendler. Despite some very funny bits (especially one with Mama, a Sag Harbor psychic), the "process" still seems interminable. By novel's end, the reader may feel like Blaine MacDonald, one of Kaufman's soap opera characters, who says on his deathbed, "You know, one of the things I'm looking forward to most about dying? . . . I won't have to talk about relationships anymore." A disappointment, but readers of Postcards will probably request this. Previewed in Prepub Alert, LJ 5/15/90; Literary Guild and Doubleday Book Club alternates.
