Paul and Katherine a young couple newly arrived in Los Angeles from the ordered but restrained environs of Harvard are forced to reexamine everything that gave their life meaning back in the "real" world. Informed by a brilliant interpretation of East and West Coast lifestyles and attitudes, this novel is an insightful and tellingly funny account of marital dysfunction.

"Alison Lurie is not what anyone would call a nice writer. Indeed, it is because of her inspired crankiness, her resistance to cant and hypocrisy, that I relish her elegant, occasionally savage novels...In her fiction, Ms. Lurie is often cutting, but never heartless."

David Leavitt, New York Times Book Review

"Transformed by her wicked wit, the most exhausted cliches come alive, galvanized into original revelation. Subject matter, which one would have supposed long dead for the purposes of fiction, springs to scintillating life at this comic novelist's deft touch."
