From the Back Cover
It is 1969, and as Peter, Paul, and Mary croon on the radio, poster paints splash the latest antiwar slogans. Suzanne, a poet, lives in a Maine beach house awaiting the birth of her love child, whom she will name Sparrow. Claudia, who weds a farmer during college, is planning to raise three strong sons. And Elizabeth and Howard get married, organize protest marches, and try to raise their two children with their own earthy, hippie values.
By 1985, things have changed. Suzanne, now with an M.B.A., has taken to calling Sparrow "Susan." After personal tragedy, Claudia spirals backward into her sixties world-and into madness. And Elizabeth, fatally ill, watches despairingly as her children yearn for a split-level house and a gleaming station wagon.
Looking back into their pasts, Suzanne, Claudia and Elizabeth attempt to reconcile their youthful lives with what they have become.
