'Reid is the talent to whom every smart young novelist who follows
her will be compared - or hope to be.' - Meg Mason Michaela and Eve
are two bright, bold women who befriend each other in their first
year at a residential college at university, where they live in
adjacent rooms. They could not be more different; one assured and
popular - the other uncertain and eager-to-please. But something
happens one night in Orientation week - a drunken encounter, a
foggy memory that will force them to confront the realities of
consent and wrestle with the dynamics of power. Initially bonded by
their wit and sharp eye for the colleges' mix of material wealth
and moral poverty, Michaela and Eve soon discover how fragile
friendship is, and how capable of betrayal they both are. Written
with a strikingly contemporary voice that is both wickedly clever
and incisive, Love & Virtue explores issues of consent,
feminism, class, and institutional privilege, and engages with
enduring philosophical questions we face today. FOR FANS OF SALLY
