From Library Journal:

"Life was too complicated, too oppressive. There had to be meaning. It had to be more than just an endless vista of duty, obligation and work." Three people stand at the threshold of their lives. Through flashbacks we relive the experiences that have brought them to this point. Weak, womanizing Michael has remained in the safety of his 28-year marriage to bitter, domineering Merriam, who finds her life less than satisfactory. Gwynneth, a free spirit who seeks security, is the only woman Michael has ever loved. Can they overcome painful childhood memories and take the first step into a brighter future? Despite a somewhat contrived ending, this well-written, thought-provoking slice of life set in the Seventies and Eighties is recommended for all fiction collections.
