"Sylvie, Jude, Wendy and Adele have a lifelong friendship of the best kind: loving, practical, frank and steadfast. But when Sylvie dies, the ground shifts dangerously for the remaining three. These women couldn't be more different: Jude, a once-famous restaurateur with a spotless life and a long-standing affair with a married man; Wendy, an acclaimed feminist intellectual; Adele, a former star of the stage, now practically homeless. Struggling to recall exactly why they've remained close all these years, the grieving women gather for one last weekend at Sylvie's old beach house. But fraying tempers, an elderly dog, unwelcome guests and too much wine collide in a storm that brings long-buried hurts to the surface - a storm that will either remind them of the bond they share, or sweep away their friendship for good."--Publisher's website

Si no te fías ni de ti mismo, ¿de quién te vas a fiar? Cass lo está pasando fatal desde la noche en que vio ese vehículo en la pista de tierra que atraviesa el bosque, en pleno aguacero, con una mujer al volante, la misma que fue asesinada. Ha intentado olvidarse del crimen, ¿qué podría haber hecho ella para impedirlo? Una carretera así, en un día de tormenta, es peligrosa. Su marido se pondría hecho una furia si supiera que incumplió su promesa de no volver a casa por ese atajo. Además, de haberse detenido a socorrerla, probablemente también ella habría resultado herida. Pero, desde entonces, se le olvida todo: dónde ha dejado el coche, si se ha tomado las pastillas, el código de la alarma, por qué ha comprado un cochecito de bebé si no tiene hijos... Lo único que no consigue olvidar es a esa mujer, a la que podría haber salvado, ni ese insoportable y persistente remordimiento. Ni las llamadas anónimas que recibe, ni la sensación de que la vigilan...

It was in luxurious Palm Beach, by the manicured lawns and Olympic-sized swimming pool, that financier Bernard Madoff ravaged the world of philanthropy and high society he strove so hard to join; vaporizing the assets of charities, foundations, and individuals that had trusted him with their funds. It seems nothing was sacrosanct to Madoff, possibly the greatest con-man in history—even Elie Wiesel's foundation lost tens of millions. How could Madoff, a pillar of the Jewish community, do this to a Nobel Laureate and Auschwitz survivor? How could some of the most sophisticated and worldly people in America fall victim to a collective delusion for years? To answer these unsettling questions, this book opens up the clubbish world where Madoff operated, tracing the links from Palm Beach and the Hamptons to the clubs of Manhattan society. It details the network of relationships across which flows hundreds of millions of dollars, and shows how despite material success and acclaim, some human impulses remain eternal. It reveals how an underlying sense of insecurity still shapes some of the richest and most successful individuals in America, making them crave ever more status and peer acclaim.
