About This Book

An episodic, character-driven narrative follows a group of college friends as they reunite and navigate a sequence of domestic and social events. Scenes of parties, letters, and practical jokes give way to more serious incidents that test loyalties and prompt moral reckonings. Interspersed are efforts at organized relief and communal service that expand private concerns into public responsibility. The tone shifts between light comedy and sober moments of illness, loss, and punishment, portraying the development of friendships, changing loyalties, and the everyday manners and challenges of a tightly connected social circle.
