The brilliant comic novel from the author hailed as 'one of his generation's most gifted writers' by the New York Times
'Cleverly plotted and subtle ... Leavitt's superb sense of comic timing and gentle pathos perfectly suit this modern comedy of bad manners' Scotland on Sunday
'Remarkably gifted' Washington Post
_____________________
It's 1969 and Denny is on her way to the annual Thanksgiving dinner at the Wright's plush campus house. Denny is more nervous than usual because she has recently begun an affair with Dr Ernest Wright, a psychology professor who happens to be her boss. Needless to say, Ernest's wife Nancy doesn't suspect dowdy Denny of seducing her husband and continues to treat her more like a servant than a friend.
To add to the tension, the Wrights' only daughter is having a secret affair with Ernest's protégé, and the youngest son, Ben, is as delicate and insufferable as only a poetry-writing fifteen-year-old can be. But this year the guests will include Nancy's best friend Anne and her new husband, the celebrated novelist Jonah Boyd, and this fateful holiday will turn out to be like no other.
