Attending a bridge party in Jazz Age New York, four women find their lives forever changed by gossip, indiscretion, secrets, and betrayal after they witness a beautiful mutual acquaintance leaving a nearby hotel with a man who is not her husband.
I’m not sure what the point of this was, other than to serve as a snapshot of 1920s New York society. It wasn’t *bad*, there just wasn’t a lot to it. It felt more like a short story than a novel, and the line in the synopsis, "with heartbreaking consequences for all" ends up looking a little overwrought. It didn’t seem like anyone’s heart was particularly broken at the end of the story. I’d say that this author just isn’t my cup of tea.
