From the dust jacket blurb:
Sarah Worth -- S. - has walked out on her family in order to follow a spiritual teacher who has brought his community from India to Arizona. There his followers are worshipping through work in an attempt to make the desert fruitful, while he passes among them from time to time, his presence bestowing ineffable bliss.
We learn the story from communications sent by S. to her husband, daughter, her best friend -- to her shrink and various other people -- The twist given to this hilarious and alarming novel by the robustness of S.'s American soul - a quality which she herself is hardly aware of to start with - must not be revealed here. In taking as his subject one of those hungry - not to say greedy - sheep who are in constant pursuit of shepherds, however dubious. John Updike has struck a vein of marvelling (and marvellous) humour which is irresistible.
