Couples: A Novel

One of the signature novels of the American 1960s, Couples is a book that, when it debuted, scandalized the public with prose pictures of the way people live, and that today provides an engrossing epitaph to the short, happy life of the â€œpost-Pill paradise.â€ It chronicles the interactions of ten young married couples in a seaside New England community who make a cul More »

[ 5.0 stars ] "kinda thick to get into-but the subject matter is very intrigueing-the sex parts are done with poetic taste,very sensual. I think Updike has been there before. an insight to the post-pill period of the 60's in an upper middle class rural setting on the eastern seaboard ..." Courtesy by Amazon

[ 3.0 stars ] "The early nineteen sixties beckoned on a decade of change. Not only did the world shake off most of the remnants of its most recent global war, not only did Europe's defeated former colonial powers almost complete their American-dictated divestment of their assets, not only did capitalism institutionalise the shape of globalised future, but also, apparently, married people discovered sex.

[ 4.0 stars ] "This is a great book by Updike, delving into the emotions and personalities of a group of married couples in JFK era New England. Like most great literature, the subject is timeless, and deserves the attention of a new reading generation, as well as a re-read from those readers who remember when it was considered shocking and edgy. It still is. I wanted to read this on my Kindle, but I gave th ..." Courtesy by Amazon

[ 4.0 stars ] "John Updike's "Couples" is not his best novel, but it's not his worst, either. This is, in fact, a very good book about marriage and infidelity, set in the 1960s as the sexual revolution swept over America.Updike published the book in 1968, as that revolution was still building; one coult argue that the sexual revolution did not reach its peak until sometime in the early 1970s. The novel f ..." Courtesy by Amazon

[ 4.0 stars ] "I've read this novel maybe half a dozen times over the years. the story follows the marriages and affairs of several couples through a few turbulent years of the 1960's. The story draws you into the characters whose lies and deceipts make most of them eminently unlikeable. All of them live in a state of pradoxical moral ambiguity. but still their stories are gripping and tragic. updike bre ..." Courtesy by Amazon
