The Marrying Kind

Meet Zooey James, an attractive, brainy student and talented tennis player; Danielle Delacroix, the beautiful and wealthy child of an aristocratic French family; Patti Hammond, a funny, irreverent redhead and ex-cheerleader; Brenna Donovan, an Irish beauty who is sweet, loving and devoutly Catholic; and Elizabeth Riordan, brilliant but remote and aloof since the death of her mother. These five women stay in touch through marriages, affairs, estrangements and finally reconciliation over 35 years as their warm, funny friendships stay in tact in a changing world.
