“Reads easily, even breathlessly. . . . The subtle but intensely felt shifts of closeness among the young women are lovingly and expertly laid bare.” — John Updike
 
This ambitious and richly compelling Superior Women is in the grand tradition of The Group and Wendy Wasserstein’s Uncommon Women and Others, a tradition continued by J. Courtney Sullivan’s Commencement.

Taking us into their lives at college, and beyond, through four tumultuous and crowded decades,  Alice Adams has given us a novel rich in all tee pleasures of characterization and incident and social observation that we have come to expect from her.
