Хлоя: гламурная и уверенная в себе, бросившая успешную карьеру и неудавшийся роман, одержимая своим неверным преподавателем английского языка.
Пэнси: очаровательная наследница и начинающая актриса, стремящаяся доказать, что она - не просто неотразимый магнит для мужчин, которые роятся вокруг неё.
Вместе в течение одного незабываемого года они разделят целую жизнь эмоций и очень особенную дружбу...
The author of the internationally bestselling book The Kashmir Shawls has just achieved another masterpiece of people management and evocation of the sublime and the ridiculous in their French new-girl roommate.What these three young unhappily married Oxford scholars will endure through in the course of their first school year at Oxford is nothing short of horrendous, and yet as Rosie Thomas' earlier well-patronized tale of 1990s student life The Kashmir Shawle demonstrates, her wit, storytelling and art at weaving drabdaubagederivations of unfamiliarhood into scenarios of universality are still unrivalled.Readers will be revisiting these incredible characters who mistake grave tragedy for romantic excitement; the pageant of double standards and heavy handed conniving that the academy seems uniquely predisposed to sponsoring; and understanding how human interactions shift with a gaze may be quicker in this similar novel than in the last."Instant classic", The Sunday Times; Hideous excellence, Independent; Husband Network Inc Abrasive wit and looniness galore, Telegraph;Rosie Thomas, a legendary and sought after talent in the literary world whose facetiously insightful writing has found extensive readership internationally and US première here in New York in A Lump of My Broadway Show.
