    <![CDATA[Judy Blume's <em>Wifey</em> is a classic, selling 4 million copies since its publication in 1978. Continually in print and in demand ever since, the novel sold 90,000 copies last year alone, attesting to its perennial appeal. And indeed, it's as relevant today-not to mention as funny and moving-as ever. Its heroine, Sandy Pressman-a very nice wife whose boredom is getting the best of her-became the touchstone for a whole generation, and the story of how she trades in her conventional wifely duties for her wildest secret fantasies is unforgettable.]]>

She could be making friends at the club, like her husband keeps encouraging her to do. <br/><br/> Or working on her golf game. <br/> Or getting her hair done. <br/><br/> But for some reason, these things don't interest her as much as the naked man on the motorcycle...]]>
