the story of a boy and girl. girl is a tomboy. boy is a mercenary artist. both are nice and only vaguely interesting. they move to the big city and get married. boy becomes successful. there is a baby, then another one. girl feels like she's stuck at home. boy sleeps around. they still love each other, the end. a nice depiction of a certain point in time (new york of the 50s). but not too memorable - and i just read it!
