Review
Antonya Nelson's first novel examines the complexities and ironic inconsistencies of romantic intimacy that she's tackled in her highly acclaimed short stories. Talking in Bed focuses on two married couples on the verge of middle age. Psychologist Evan Cole and his wife Rachel, a lawyer, befriend Paddy (a roofer) and Didi Limbach (a Mormon housewife). The two couples forge an awkward, yet comforting friendship that leads to an affair between Paddy and Rachel. As the dynamics between the characters shift, each tries to keep life from spinning out of control by grasping desperately at love.
