I absolutely loved this novel! It was a light read, but not a quick one. There is more than one main character and they are all a little complicated- emotionally. I love the time period the story took place in and I find the author, Rona Jaffe has a knack for depicting the 50's, 60's etc. I came to discover that she was wrote this book at the age of 72,two years before her death. A MUST READ!

The novel traces 3 roommates who lived together as young women in the 1960's. Their bond was deepened by the apparent suicide of their fourth roommate. Vanessa, a sensual air hostess, Cady, a pampered but awkward schoolteacher and Leigh, a secretary cum media mogul and Charlie, their apartment mascot live out the following 40 years in constant contact and occasional conflict.

Very readable "soap opera-ish" book about 4 20-yr-olds who live in NYC during the 60s and then follows them throughout their lives.

While Rona Jaffe has come a long, long way from her beginnings, her worst is better than a lot of the "best" romantic tripe being published today. This one is pretty good.
