Women's Fiction
Loviah "Lovie" French owns a small, high-end dress shop on
Manhattan's Upper East Side. Renowned for her taste and
discretion, Lovie is the one to whom certain women turn when
they need "just the thing" for major life events—baptisms
and balls, weddings and funerals—or when they just want to
dish in the dressing room. Among the people who depend on
Lovie's confidence are her two best friends since boarding
school: Dinah Wainwright and Avis Metcalf. Outspoken and brimming with confidence, Dinah made a name
for herself as a columnist covering the doings of New York's
wealthiest and most fabulous. Shy, proper Avis, in many ways
Dinah's opposite, rose to prominence in the art world with
her quiet manners, hard work, and precise judgment. Despite
the deep affection they both feel for Lovie, they have been
more or less allergic to each other since a minor incident
decades earlier that has been remembered and resented with
what will prove to be unimaginable consequences. These uneasy acquaintances become unwillingly bound to each
other when Dinah's favorite son and Avis's only daughter
fall in love and marry. On the surface, Nick and Grace are
the perfect match—a playful, romantic, buoyant, and
beautiful pair. But their commitment will be strained by
time and change: career setbacks, reckless choices, the
birth of a child, jealousies, and rumor. At the center of
their orbit is Lovie, who knows everyone's secrets and
manages them as wisely as she can. Which is not wisely
enough, as things turn out—a fact that will have a
shattering effect on all their lives.
