About
Four women reflect on the past at their college reunion in this "absorbing" novel of love, friendship, and secrets by a New York Times–bestselling author (The Washington Post).
"In Class Reunion, Rona Jaffe does what she does best. . . . A literary 'dessert,' with the unmistakable touch of a master chef." -Associated Press
Twenty years after their college graduation, four Radcliffe girls return to their Harvard class reunion with mixed emotions and curiosity. It is the first time they have met since their hopeful student years, when each of them had wonderful dreams of becoming wives, mothers, and successful career women. But much has changed since the fifties, and the former classmates' lives have been altered by events none of them could have foreseen. Humorous, heartwarming, often poignant and nostalgic, Class Reunion captures the spirit of the fifties brilliantly in contrast to the changing world the four girls have embraced, often with straightforward and pithy commentary on the social conventions of the past.
"It's the kind of book multitudes of people will read avidly. . . . It's difficult to put her novel down." -New York Daily News
"Ms. Jaffe's fans will love it. . . . Fast-paced and sympathetic. . . . Well-crafted. . . . Sensitive." -Houston Chronicle
Originally published in 1979.
