| From Library Journal Best-selling author ( The Two Mrs. Grenvilles ， 1985) and Vanity Fair contributor Dunne presents a contemporary comedy of manners (really a satirical "tragedy of morals") that examines the values of Manhattan's old families and "nouveau riche" alike. Juxtaposed against the problems of opulent "Social Register" types at the "best" parties are basic issues with far-reaching consequences， often escaping the understanding of these inbred members of high society. When disasters touch those at the top， their lives must be reshaped， enabling some to restructure their existences more realistically. Discerning readers will find much to ponder within sublevels of this entertaining story. Highly recommended. Ellen R.
