My copy is dated 2002, "first edition," and has 220 pages.

Quindlen calls some characters "fat" which reminds me that today, we aren't allowed to say people are fat, despite the fact that over 70% of the US adult population "have overweight" and over 40% "have obesity" and more than 20% of children over the age of 5 "have obesity." As if consuming more calories than we burn each day for most of our lives were a disease and not a very, very bad habit promoted by industry.

With the rich and mighty, always a little patience.
