Jessie, Sue Carol, Nina, Lisbeth, and Martha have come together to celebrate Claire's pregnancy. Some 20 years earlier, the women befriended one another at a boarding house in New York City, where they still live. Now in their mid-thirties to early forties, they have little in common beyond the bond their living arrangements created so many years ago. Much of Cunningham's novel, which was originally written as a play, takes place one evening in Jessie's loft while a blizzard descends on Manhattan. The interaction is strained because of Martha's penchant for criticism. Eventually, however, Martha reveals that all is not so perfect in her life either, allowing the women to comfort and be open with one another despite their differences.
