The novel takes place in a small American town in the sixties of the last century. Several married couples, exhausted from boredom and idleness, find a way out in endless betrayals: Harold is married to Martia and sleeps with Janet, Frank is married to Janet and sleeps with Marsia, Paita is married to Angel and sleeps ... with everyone else. The frankness of the Updike can shock, or can give food for thought. After all, the life of the heroes is very reminiscent of the game, the charades with which they have fun every evening, and that at first it may seem funny, gradually becomes terrible.
