  2. John Irving _ A Widow for One Year

    One can't blame Marion for telling Eddie all the times of the day and the week she avoided. For instance, when children got out of school-not to mention all museums, all zoos. And parks in any decent weather, when the children would be sure to be there with their nannies or their parents; and every daytime baseball game-all Christmas shopping, too. What had she left out? All summer and winter resorts, the first warm days of the spring, the last warm days of the fall-and every Halloween, of course. And on her list of things never to do: she never went out for breakfast, she gave up ice cream . . . Marion was always the well-dressed woman alone in a restaurant-she would ask for a table at the latest time they served. She ordered her wine by the glass and ate her meals with a novel.
