Seven months later, as a new bride, Jenny and Clem spend the summer in East Hampton near Jackson Pollock and Lee Krasner, and she feels even more keenly like an interloper in the inner circle of the art scene. A woman disowned by her anti-Semitic family for marrying a Jew, she would develop a deep, loving bond with Clem that would remain strong through years of an open marriage and separate residences. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJenny embodies the pivotal changes of each passing decade as she searches for worlds of her own.
