This was a very profound book. it all revolves around a dinner party... but many crises are occurring underneath the calm of the day. I don't want to spoil it but it is a good book
Just picked up this book at a library yard sale. Not the best written book in the world but despite tending toward a didactic tone the book engaged me and I read it in two days.
This was Howard Fast at his worst.
mentioned in "Barbara Bush: A Memoir"
Love Howard Fast. Good book
This was an interesting book, it takes place in the course of one day (and I was able to read it in a day), makes you think about values, politics, relationships and how people handle the prospect of death.
