In the tradition of Mary McCarthy’s The Group, a powerfully human tale of the friendship and the secrets between three women who have known each other for a lifetime, Gossip explores the unintended consequences that may come from best intentions. “Enthralling, triumphant and true.” Boston Globe “A graceful and elegant novel that explores the unintended damage simmering hostility and sharing confidences can bring, Gossip builds to a stunning and devastating finish.”
Loviah "Lovie" French owns a small, high-end dress shop on Manhattan's Upper East Side. Renowned for her taste and discretion, Lovie is the one to whom certain women turn when they need "just the thing" for major life events—baptisms and balls, weddings and funerals—or when they just want to dish in the dressing room. Among the people who depend on Lovie's confidence are her two best friends since they were girls at boarding school together. Outspoken and confident, Dinah Wainwright made a name for herself as a columnist covering the doings of New York society. Shy and proper Avis Metcalf, in many ways Dinah's opposite, rose to prominence in the art world with her quiet manners, hard work, and precise judgment. Uneasy acquaintances, Dinah and Avis become unwillingly bound to each other when Dinah's favourite son and Avis's only daughter fall in love and marry. The centre of their orbit is Lovie, who knows everyone's secrets and manages them as wisely as she can. Which is not wisely enough, as things turn out—a fact that will have a shattering effect on all their lives. BETH GUTCHEON is the critically acclaimed author of eight previous novels: Still Missing (translated into 14 languages), The New Girls, Domestic Pleasures, Saying Grace, Five Fortunes, More Than You Know, Leeway Cottage, and Good-bye and Amen. She is the writer of several film scripts, including the Academy Award nominee The Children of Theatre Street. She lives in New York City.
