Rona Jaffe is the New York Times bestselling author of the internationally acclaimed novels The Road Taken, The Cousins, Family Secrets, and Five Women, as well as the classic bestsellers Class Reunion and The Best of Everything. She is the founder of the Rona Jaffe Foundation, which presents a national literary award to promising female writers.
Spanning decades in the lives of three women, this ambitiousnovel starts out with promise: Leigh, Cady, and Vanessa begin theirfriendship in 1963 as New York City roommates. The listener becomesfamiliar with each woman's dreams, ambitions, and flaws as the plotunfolds, especially when it comes to the love lives of three verydifferent personalities. As the years pass, the women pursue careersand men with varying results; however, they do little more thanthat. Even though Deborah Hall spends ample time with each character,each one remains a two-dimensional figure that partakes in clichéd,wooden dialogue and makes the same motions repeatedly. Hall offersadequate narration, although she, too, becomes a bit clichéd in herrendition of the women's voices. (The flight attendant sounds breathyand helpless, for example.).This novel is an easy listen and a fairdiversion, but that's about it.
