Women's Fiction
Everyone wins this game of literary tennis, a comedy of
manners about envy in which Wickham skewers the nouveau
riche. At their country estate, Patrick Chance and his wife
host a weekend tennis party. As four couples gather on the
sunny terrace, it seems obvious who among them is
succeeding, and who is falling behind. But by the end of the
party, nothing will be quite as certain. While the couples’
children amuse themselves with pony rides and rehearsals for
a play, the adults suffer a series of personal revelations
and crises. Wickham’s nonstop action reveals at every turn
that matters may not be as they seem, and in the end one
thing is crystal clear: the weekend is about anything but
tennis.
