On a warm summer night in 1974, six teenagers play at being cool. They smoke pot, drink vodka, share their dreams and vow always to be interesting.
Decades later, aspiring actress Jules has resigned herself to a more practical occupation; Cathy has stopped dancing; Jonah has laid down his guitar and Goodman has disappeared. Only Ethan and Ash, now married, have remained true to their adolescent dreams and have become shockingly successful too. As the groupโs fortunes tilt precipitously, their friendships are put under the ultimate strain of envy and crushing disappointment.
โThe wit, intelligence and deep feeling of Wolitzerโs writing are extraordinary and The Interestings brings her achievement, already so steadfast and remarkable, to an even higher levelโ Jeffrey Eugenides
Meg Wolitzer is the author of several acclaimed novels, most recently The Uncoupling (โtingles with playfulness and wicked observationโ Independent) and The Wife (โhas you howling with recognitionโ Allison Pearson), The Position (โone of the best and most human books Iโve read all yearโ Erica Wagner) and The Ten-Year Nap (โas incisive and pitiless and clear-eyed a chronicler of female-male tandems as Philip Roth or John Updike' Chicago Tribune). She is married with two sons and lives in New York City.
