Not my favorite Braun novel.
In fact probably my least favorite. Very little in the way of plot. The story
is essentially a series of high society social events and phone conversations.
Disappointing, frankly. Rather short too. I initially thought this might've
been an unfinished novel never intended for publication. Wikipedia says
otherwise. Not giving up on Braun just yet, though. All things considered, she’s a fine prose writer. I enjoy her style. Many of her novels are superb. Unfortunately, this isn't one of them. Two out of five stars. Rated GMonday, November 21, 2016
