Twenty years since the first publication of his seminal The World According to Garp, John Irving returns with a richly comic, multi-layered love story of astonishing emotional force.nnA Widow for One Year is a brilliant novel about the passage of time and the relentlessness of grief.nnRuth Cole is a complex, often self-contradictory character - a difficult woman. By no means is she conventionally nice , but she will never be forgotten. Her story is told in three parts, each focusing on a critical time in her life. On Long Island in 1958 when she is but four; in 1990 when her personal life is not nearly as successful as her literary career; and in 1995, aged 41, when Ruth Cole, widow and mother, is about to fall in love for the first time.
