Fiction
They call themselves the Leopardi Circle--six members of a
writing group who share much more than their works in
progress. When Nancy, whose most recently published work is a
medical newsletter, is asked to join a writing group made
up of established writers, she accepts, warily. She's not
at all certain that her novel is good enough for the
company she'll be keeping. Her novel is a subject very
close to her heart, and she isn't sure she wants to share
it with others, let alone the world. But Nancy soon finds
herself as caught up in the group's personal lives as she
is with their writing. She learns that nothing--love,
family, loyalty--is sacred or certain. In the circle there's Gillian, a beautiful, scheming,
world-famous poet; Bernard, a pompous but lovable
biographer; Virginia, a respected historian and the
peacemaker of the group, who also happens to be Bernard's
ex-wife; Chris, a divorced father and successful thriller
writer; and Adam, the youngest of the group, an aspiring
novelist who is infatuated with Gillian. And then there's
Nancy, an unassuming fiction writer embarking on a new
chapter in her own life. They meet to read their work
aloud and offer feedback. Over the course of a year,
marriages are tested, affairs begin, and trust is broken. Through their complicated relationships, these eccentric
characters share their families, their beds, and their
histories, and soon find that buried secrets have a way of
coming to light. Hearts break and emotions are pushed to
the limit in this richly engaging tale of love, betrayal,
and literature.
