What is Love Is Not Enough : a Novel about?

"It all begins one night in Manhattan in the company of eight naked women, who are trying to come to terms with their bodies and themselves. Sarah Weiss Dillon, aged thirty-three, is educated, intelligent, sensuous, and ferociously funny. She has two children, a marvelous upper-middle-class ménage on Central Park West, and plans to live happily ever after with her successful, handsome (adulterous) husband-if she doesn't kill him first. As the women in the circle begin to talk about their experiences with men, the world, and their bodies, Sarah's mind flashes back to unlock the riddles of her past, from adolescent awakening, through a tragic first love affair, to the perils of her present liberation. The journey is by turns sad, shocking, and funny, but it is always entertaining. This novel is a compelling, contemporary love story with any number of unexpected crises and a surprisingly happy ending. It is a kind of feminist fairy tale written, interestingly enough, by a man" -- Front jacket flap
