Synopsis: The author of The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel pens &“the happiest, saddest, funniest, most perceptive truth about growing up since The Catcher in the Rye&” (Over 21). Laura and Claire Jenkins were born just a few years apart, but they&’re as different as night and day. Sensible, level-headed Claire has settled into her teaching job in London, sharing an apartment with two other girls, while free-spirited Laura starts her first year at university, where she sets about to find herself—no matter where that may lead . . . Soon Claire falls for a man who may not set the world on fire, but offers her the stability she craves. Laura, always the rebel, moves out of the dorms and into a relationship with a frustrated artist-turned–bus conductor. But as Claire begins to question her motives and Laura&’s bohemian life begins to lose its charm, the sisters start to realize that they may be more alike than they thought. And that&’s not such a bad thing when it comes to family, sisterhood, and growing up. &“Assured and successful. . . . Altogether a most satisfying and intelligent first novel.&” —Financial Times &“Sensitive and humorous.&” —Daily Express &“A delightful story of young love.&” —The Times (London) &“It is thrilling to find a writer who could capture our world, and our emotions, so accurately.&” —Wellington Evening Post &“Warm and witty . . . family life most achingly bared.&” —New Statesman
