The married couples in this book have two things in common: a skill
in the duplicity that flourishes even in happy marriages, and an
invitation to the Farthingoes' ball. In the months preceding the
party, we learn something of their double lives: the faces that
each one exposes to their spouses and to the world give little hint
of their complex and secret tribulations. By the time they arrive
at the ball, each clutching his or her different hopes and fears,
we have become familiar with their unsmooth paths, and shared many
a humorous escapade or private tragedy with Rachel and Thomas, Mary
and Bill, Ursula and Martin, Frances and Toby, as well as the
alluring R. Cotterman and the only questing bachelor, Ralph.
Sophisticated, sympathetic, witty and razor-sharp in its
observations of the sub-text of married life, this is a wonderfully
accomplished and enjoyable novel which develops totally out of the
characters it creates.
