Fiction
Ruth Cole is a complex, often self-contradictory
character--a "difficult" woman. By no means is she
conventionally "nice," but she will never be forgotten.
Ruth's story is told in three parts, each focusing on a
crucial time in her life. When we first meet her--on Long
Island, in the summer of 1958--Ruth is only four. The second window into Ruth's life opens in the fall of
1990, when Ruth is an unmarried woman whose personal life is
not nearly as successful as her literary career. She
distrusts her judgment in men, for good reason. A Widow for One Year closes in the autumn of 1995, when Ruth
Cole is a forty-one-year-old widow and mother. She's about
to fall in love for the first time. Richly comic, as well as deeply disturbing A Widow for One
Year is a multilayered love story of astonishing emotional
force. Both ribald and erotic, it is also a brilliant novel
about the passage of time and the relentlessness of grief.
