"You''ll definitely see elements of yourself and your
girlfriends in this terrific novel," is how "Redbook" described
"Best Friends"-which may explain why this first novel from an
unknown author has been quietly building to a surprising hardcover
success. It''s the kind of book that is shared among friends, an
instantly familiar and emotionally immediate story of two women who
become college roommates, confidantes, and friends for life. Clare,
from a working-class Protestant family, has never met anyone like
Sally: wealthy, pretty, and Jewish, barely emancipated from her
close-knit Los Angeles family. Over the decades, Clare is drawn
deeper into the circle of Sally''s family-until she uncovers the
kind of secret that no one wants to tell a best friend. "A
valentine to the staying power of women''s friendships." "Cleveland
Plain Dealer" "She captures the feel of things, the complexity of
human lives, and the ability of time to expose and to heal."
Josephine Humphreys, author of "Nowhere Else on Earth" "So
freshly observed and gifted with such a powerful sense of the
ravages of time that it feels utterly new...The book never loses
its edge, at once compassionate and humorous." "Publishers
Weekly," starred review
