'Destined to be a classic . . . A sharply funny, clear-eyed examination, in the vein of Mary McCarthy's The Group, of the power and burden of privilege, the reality of being a modern woman and the lasting bonds of female friendship'
Vanity Fair
Clover, Addison, Mia and Jane were college roommates until their graduation in 1989. Two decades later, they are still friends, after a fashion - and about to attend their twentieth Harvard reunion.
But there's the story we tell the world, and then there's the real story, as the women will discover as they arrive at the reunion with their families, histories, dashed dreams and secret longings, for an epoch-ending, score-settling, unforgettable weekend.
'Just the right mix of tenderness and laugh-out-loud moments. A heady, addictive read, which races along at breakneck speed'
