"They met at Radcliffe in the 1940's - five young women on their own for the first time. Lavinia, the perfect debutante...Cathy, the quiet child of a Catholic Philadelphia family...Peg, the comforter, the caretaker, the most vulnerable...Janet, small, fiesty, Jewish. And, at the heart of the book, Megan, who has come from California eager to be a part of the East Coast establishment.

They are beautiful. They are strong. They are intelligent. They are determined. They are superior women... and this marvelous, beautifully written novel tells the story of their lives through the turbulent decades of our times."

I love these stories that track the lives of college friends over the years and stayed awake until 2 am to finish this book. Nuff said?

This is a first publication issue, the cover looks different than the one shown. It's a New York Times best seller.

This book was OK, nothing special. It was basically about five different women from college at Radcliffe in the 1940s on to the early '80s. It reminded me alot of Rona Jaffe's "Class Reunion" and "After The Reunion" books, only IMO Jaffe's books were MUCH better.
