Couples
Author: John Updike
John Updike's fifth novel concerns the interactions of ten couples in an out-of-the-way New England community called Tarbox. The circle of aquaintance is felt as a magic circle, with ritual games, religious substitutions, a priest (Freddy Thorne), and a scapegoat (Piet Hanema). The action runs from the spring of 1963 through the following spring.

It's been a few years since I read this novel, but I remember really liking, my favorite Updike novel next the Rabbit Run. It has the passionate intensity of Endless Love, as I recall.
