The Private Lives of Pippa Lee

What part of our selves do we hide away in order to have a stable, prosperous life?

Pippa Lee has just such a stable existence in place at age fifty, when her older husband decides they should move to a retirement community outside the city. She begins sleepwalking, losing track of her own mind; her foundations begin to shudder, and gradually we learn the truth of the young life that led her finally to settle down in marriage--years of neglect, rebellion, wild transgressions and powerful defiance. "The Private Lives of Pippa Lee "is the study of a brave, perilous, many-layered woman--an acutely intelligent portrait of the many lives behind a single name.
