Items related to Crucial Conversations
Reed and Poppy Whitelaw's conventional and apparently serene life together is shattered when Poppy tells Reed that she has decided to leave him. In a series of encounters that follow the shock of this news, which affects not only Reed but also their children and friends--in particular Philip, who must learn why he is so invested in their marriage--Reed and Poppy struggle to make sense of their lives in this alien new terrain.

About the Author:
May Sarton (1912-1995) was an acclaimed poet, novelist, and memoirist.
Review:
May Sarton again has entered Marquand-Updike territory and fortunately for us has brought to this fictional region the viewpoint of a first-rate craftsman who happens to be a woman vitally interested in both art and life. — Boston Herald
Produces insight for the reader into the modern dilemma of freedom versus marriage, self-realization versus service and duty and finally the Sisyphean problems of the person alone, living on the threshold of other lives. . . . I find Crucial Conversations moving. . . . May Sarton has dealt with every aspect of female existence, with every kind of love. In this latest novel she has taken another, new step forward, and suggested a radical solution to the human-bondage-in-marriage status. — Doris Grumbach (New York Times Book Review)
