Nick, an up-and-coming Wall Street lawyer, and Georgianna, a brilliant one-woman think tank, are involved in a fiercely passionate love affair that becomes threatened by imminent drastic changes in their lives. Enveloped by the love of her husband, as well as that of her mother, sister, and senile grandmother, all of whom live nearby, Georgie Swift is tormented by the fear that something--or someone--will destroy her happiness. In particular, she becomes obsessed with the belief that she will lose her husband, Nick, either to another woman or to the pressures of his Wall Street job. Seeking to gain emotional strength from others' examples, she founds the Swift Observatory, a project in which she talks to people affected by tragedy. Book in overall good condition.
