Description

A novel about female friendship in 1980s New York explores the complexities of narcissism and tenderness, exploitation and self-sacrifice, love and mortality. Alison and Veronica form an unlikely bond over two decades, navigating their lives amidst glamour and decay. Their relationship is marked by extremes, from the fragility of one's career to the eccentricities of another's life. Yet, it is also a testament to the power of human connection in times of turmoil. This deeply moving work casts a fierce yet compassionate eye on its subjects, offering a nuanced portrayal of two eras and their preoccupations.
