Not one of them, if she could help it, was going to marry a broker or a banker or a cold-fish corporation lawyer . . . Eight Vassar graduates meet in New York to attend the wedding of one of their friends - and reconvene seven years later at her funeral. The women, fresh from college, vowed not to become stuffy and frightened like their parents, but to lead fulfilling, emancipated lives. But which of them will achieve that dream - and what sacrifices and compromises will it take? Groundbreaking in its frank depiction of friendship, sex and the truth of women's lives, The Group was a revelation, a scandal, and an instant bestseller.
