To See You Again — Alice Adams

Explores various affairs of the heart, revealing the passion, affectation, and sometimes the wisdom that lie at the center of each. A divorced father awkwardly devises a reconciliation with his teenage daughter; a middle-aged professor is enchanted by a student and then is upset by that enchantment; a recently widowed woman comes to terms with her surprisingly comfortable sense of independence; a famous sculptress exorcises the false memories of her legendary romance with an egocentric musician.
