` Destined to be a classic.. .a sharply funny, clear-eyed examination, in the vein of Mary Mc Carthy`s The Group, of the power & burden of privilege, the reality of being a modern woman & the lasting bonds of female friendship.`
- Vanity Fair Can a weekend change your life? Clover, Addison, Mia & Jane were college roommates until their graduation in 1989. Now, twenty years later, their lives are in free fall. Clover, once a securities broker with Lehman Brothers, living the Manhattan dream, is out of a job, newly married & fretting about her chances of having a baby. Addison`s marriage to a novelist with writers` block is as stale as her artistic `career`. Mia`s acting ambitions never got off the ground, & she now stays home with her four children, renovating & acquiring faster than her Hollywood director husband can pay the bills. Jane, once the Paris bureau chief for a newspaper, now the victim of budget cuts, has been blindsided by different sorts of loss. The four friends have kept up with one another via the red book, a class report published every five years, in which alumni write brief updates about their lives. But there`s the story we tell the world, & then there`s the real story, as the classmates arriving at their twentieth reunion with their families, their histories, their dashed dreams & secret longings, will discover over the course of an epoch-ending, score-settling, unforgettable weekend.
