The Widows of Eastwick is the sequel to The Witches of Eastwick. This book wraps up the past thirty years of these three women, Alexandra, Jane, and Sukie. These women travel to exotic places and new lands all rekindling their forgotten fires and recharging them as they were in their prime back in the town of Eastwick, Rhode Island. John Updike portryas these women in new lights: a little older but still filled with that same passion they had in their earlier years.
In the beginning of the novel, Alexandra travels to Canada after the loss of her late husband. She goes on a group tour of the Canadian mountains. Updike describes these mountain tops and ski slopes with such vivid detail its as if you are there standing next to Alexandra feeling the rushed chill of the wind against your back as if you were standing in the valley of the mountain.
This cabin is like the place Updike describes in the Canadian Mountains where Alexandra takes her trip. The mountain cabin is secluded and begins to elude to the life that Alexandra is now living. In Eastwick, she had the time of her life, no cares in the world, but after doing that terribly tragic thing to Jenny Gabriel, she escaped into a hideout of life and began excluding herself from her old ways.
This image details the trip Alexandra and Jane took to Egypt after the passing of both husbands and reconnecting of the two friends. Alexandra rides a camel around one of the famous pyramids while Jane trys to snap shots of her dear friend, although seems to miss all the great shots (on accident).
