Alison and Veronica meet amid the nocturnal glamour of 1980s New
York: One is a young model stumbling away from the wreck of her
career, the other an eccentric middle-aged office temp. Over the
next twenty years their friendship will encompass narcissism and
tenderness, exploitation and self-sacrifice, love and mortality.
Moving seamlessly from present and past, casting a fierce yet
compassionate eye on two eras and their fixations, the result is a
work of timeless depth and moral power.
