Evening by Susan Minot

I read this book for a second time looking for description of a particular scene that was in the movie. It wasn't there. Meryl Streep's conversation with the dying protagonist was totally missing from the novel. However, it is still a good read. Some may object to how time is scrambled and the reader must pay close attention to identify time, place, and characters. Pulling it all together, you come out with a compelling story of the dying woman's lost love and on the three husbands she married instead.
