520 1 $a"Jennifer Haigh delivers the compelling story of three women who marry the same man - an enigmatic opportunist named Ken Kimble.".
520 8 $a"Kimble is revealed through the eyes of the women he seduces: his first wife, Birdie Bell, who struggles to hold herself together in the months following his desertion; his second wife, Joan Cohen, a lonely heiress shaken by personal tragedy, who sees in Kimble her last chance at happiness; and finally Dinah Whitacre, a beautiful but damaged woman half his age. Woven throughout is the story of Kimble's son, Charlie, whose life is forever affected by a father he barely remembers.
520 8 $aKen Kimble is a chameleon, a man able to become, at least, for a while, all things to all women. To each of the three Mrs. Kimbles, he appears as a hero to whom powerful needs and nameless longings may be attached. Only later do they glimpse the truth about this elusive, unknowable man."--BOOK JACKET.
