As Good as Dead

En savoir plus sur le livre

Endearingly flawed and battered-around-the-edges, Charlotte has managed to fashion herself a life that balances marriage and a writing career, but now Esmé, the charming friend Charlotte betrayed at university, stands at Charlotte's door: Surprise! Charlotte yearns to make amends, but she's wary. Esmé makes no mention of Charlotte's old betrayal and the two resume their friendship, but soon enough a request from Esmé will upend Charlotte's careful world. Suspenseful, witty, with spot-on evocations of university life in the late 1980s, As Good As Dead performs an exquisite psychological high-wire act, exploring loves and friendships poisoned by secrets and fears.
