I just finished reading DECADES by Ruth Harris. It's the story of three women - a mother, a daughter, and an "other woman" - whose lives are enmeshed. The plot takes place over several decades, starting in the 1940s through the 1970s, and the author ties the events in the characters' lives to the attitudes of the times. She also mentions pivotal events that are happening at the time of the scenes in the book (post-war baby boom, JFK assassination, Vietnam war protests, The Pill, etc.) I'd recommend it.
Note: I bought DECADES on Amazon as an ebook for my Kindle; however, I believe it is also available in paper.
