This story dealt with a few months in the life of a young couple, parents of a one-year-old conceived during a one-night stand in the 1960s. At times this seemed dull and it times it seemed insightful (perhaps given current events and threats to reproductive rights?) It was...fine, but I wouldn't recommend it.

Picked it up at a used book sale forever ago.
