Revolutionary Road (Movie Tie-in Edition) (Vintage Contemporaries)

"In the hopeful 1950s, Frank and April Wheeler appear to be a model couple: bright, beautiful, talented, with ywo young children and a starter home in the suburbs. Perhaps they married too young and started a family too early. Maybe Frank's job is dull. And April never saw herself as a housewife. Yet they have always lived on the assumption that greatness is only just around the corner. But now that certainty is about to crumble. With hearbreaking compassion and remorseless clarity, Richard Yates shows how Frank and April mortgage their spiritual birthright, betraying not only each other, but their best selves." --
