About this book
A "fascinating [and] evocative" analysis of these powerful emotions by the #1 New York Times âbestselling author of My Mother/My Self ( Kirkus Reviews, starred review). What is jealousy, and how does it undermine our closest relationships? Renowned journalist and author Nancy Friday tackles this difficult topic with compelling honesty and depth of insight.
