With her beautiful and self-destructive younger sister Claire in tow, Mamie must learn to make her way in a world of money, power, sex, and drugs. Moore’s sharp and witty book captures an unforgettable time and place—the Manhattan of the early 80s— and the powerful feelings engendered there.“An utterly wonderful novel. . .I envy everyone who enter, for the first time, its world.” --Jonathan Yardley, \u003ci\u003eThe Washington Post Book World\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\"A remarkably sly balancing act: a deeply sensual, richly imagined coming-of-age story that manages to use a wickedly satiric portrait of the uppercrust in the Manhattan of the early 1980s.\" --\u003ci\u003eThe Philadelphia Inquirer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\"An alluring novel, sure in its embrace of the reader. . .who is swep away by Moore's eye for detail.\"--\u003ci\u003eNewsday\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\"Ms. Moore possesses a finely tuned radar system for phoniness and pretension, and many of her cameo portraits glitter with a Waugh-like black humor. Indeed, she demonstrates in this novel that she not only has a gift for delineating the tragedies of domestic life...but that she also has a capacity for comic invention, for showing what happens when our vanities run amok.\"--Michiko Kakutani, \u003ci\u003eThe New York Times\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\"An engrossing, sensual novel whose characters seem to live from the moment of their introduction and whose plot is both believable and satisfying.

As much as women love Colette’s and Virginia Woolf’s portraits of adored mothers and their daughters, many will identify more with this wounded pair.” –\u003ci\u003eMs. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e“Spare but lyrical. . . .
