This is only a partial review because I could not get into this story and, therefore, only read the first fifty-seven pages. This novel deals with the relationship between Irene, a doctoral student, and Gil, her husband of several years who is more than a decade older than Irene. They have three children together. Gil is a successful artist, his main subject over the years being Irene in a variety of settings, both realistic and surrealistic. The novel, although well-written, was too "artsy" for me -- I admit that I much prefer "fluff".
