The Other Woman

Ellen Lesser. Washington Square Press, $6.95 (0pp) ISBN 978-0-671-66985-0

An affair with a married man makes sophisticated Jennifer ``the other woman,'' but she finds it all somewhat dull when her lover, Richard, leaves his wife and settles down with her. PW found that ``the elements of the contemporary portrait Lesser has drawn are timely and significant, and may be recognizable to many. Yet her spare prose, while competent, makes everything rather colorless.'' (June)
