VILLAGES
ISBN: 9780141024097
Owen Mackenzie’s life story abounds with sin and seduction, domesticity and debauchery. After growing up in the small town of Willow, Owen marries the elegant and remote Phyllis, his college girlfriend. But this soon leads to his first betrayal and he abandons his reserve, embarking on a series of affairs and sexual encounters in New England and as far afield as Las Vegas, Nevada. This is America during the revolutionary sixties and seventies, and Owen’s profession as a computer programmer does not shelter him from the era’s reckless appetites.
