Description

'Juicy, shocking, witty, and almost continually brilliant' COSMOPOLITAN
'A brilliant novel: honest, engaging and sharp as a tack' SARAH WATERS
'Lively, vivid and exceedingly entertaining' SUNDAY TIMES

Not one of them, if she could help it, was going to marry a broker or a banker or a cold-fish corporation lawyer...
New York, 1930. Eight Vassar graduates meet in New York to attend the wedding of one of their friends - and reconvene seven years later at her funeral. Young and fearless, they vow not to become stuffy and frightened like their parents, but to lead fulfilling, emancipated lives. But which of them will achieve that dream - and at what cost?

Ground-breaking in its fearless portrayal of female friendship, sex and the struggle to have it all, The Group was a revelation, a scandal, and an instant bestseller.

'McCarthy's characters confront many of the same issues as their modern counterparts: sex and contraception, career and marriage, love and lust, fidelity to one's husband versus loyalty to one's friends and the attempt to carve out a place for oneself unconstrained by the gender limitations of previous generations. Its continuing relevance is one of the book's most extraordinary attributes' ELIZABETH DAY, GUARDIAN
