When Peter Russell finally meets the woman of his dreams he
falls as madly in love as you can on a flight from New York
to LA. Her name is Holly. She's achingly pretty with
strawberry-blonde hair, and reads Thomas Mann for pleasure.
She gives Peter her phone number on a page of The Magic
Mountain, but in his room that night Peter finds the page is
inexplicably, impossibly, enragingly...gone. So begins the
immensely entertaining story of Peter and his unrequited
love for his best friend's girl; of Charlotte and her
less-than-perfect marriage to a man in love with someone
else; of Jonathan and his wicked and fateful debauchery; and
of Holly, the impetus for it all. Along the way, there's the
evil boss, the desirable temptress, miscommunications,
misrepresentations, fiendish behavior, letters gone astray,
and ultimately, an ending in which every character gets his
due. Both incisive and wonderfully funny, this is a
brilliantly understated comedy of manners in which love lost
is found again.
