Good Riddance EPUB

'A vastly entertaining screwball comedy' WASHINGTON POSTDecluttering her tiny New York apartment, Daphne Maritch decides to throw out any belongings that do not spark joy. These include a high-school yearbook inherited from her school teacher mother, June, to whom the class of '68 dedicated the volume.

June in turn attended every class reunion, scribbling notes and observations – not always charitably – after each one. When neighbour Geneva Wisenkorn finds the discarded book and wants to use it for her own ends, Daphne realises she wants to keep it after all.

Fighting to reclaim it, she uncovers some alarming Maritch family secrets and sets in motion a series of events that prove to be both poignant and absurd. Good Riddance is a vastly entertaining screwball comedy from the Jane Austen of modern New York. 'A caper novel, light as a feather and effortlessly charming.

It inspires a very specific kind of modern joy.' NEW YORK TIMES'I've been a huge fan of her novels for so many years.

Her writing is witty, astute and deliciously dry.' JILL MANSELL'An exceptionally intelligent, wholly original and Austen-like stylist.' FAY WELDON
