Spiritual quest disrupts suburban ennui.

If you're feeling a tad stuck in routine, "S." could be just the escape. It's not just about Sarah abandoning her comfortable life; it's a sharp and satirical look at the search for meaning beyond the picket fences that might mirror a yearning in many of us. Updike has a reputation for wit and depth, and you'll get plenty of both here as you journey with Sarah and possibly reflect on your own life's pilgrimage.

Description

S. is Sarah Worth -- doctor's wife, North Shore matron, loving mother, and now (suddenly!) ardent follower of a Hindu religious leader known as the Arhat. As this brilliant and very funny novel opens, Sarah is fleeing the confinement of her suburban life to become a sannyasin (pilgrim) at her guru's Arizona ashram. In the letters and audiocassettes that Sarah sends to her husband, daughter, mother, brother, best friend -- to her psychiatrist and her hairdresser and her dentist -- master novelist John Updike gives us a witty comedy of manners, a biting satire of life on a religious commune, and the story -- deep and true -- of an American woman in search of herself.
