20th century story about a situationship

Wonderful story about jealousy and anxiety when it comes to relationships. I thought Ginzburg captured that desperation to be in the company of another / others very well, and the thought patterns that fill the brain in our quiet moments. Very accessible and relatively easy reading, although it does jump around plot-wise sometimes.
