NATIONAL BESTSELLER The New York Times best-selling author of Maine brings us a sparkling tale of friendship and a fascinating portrait of the first generation of women who have all the opportunities in the world, but no clear idea about what to choose."Inviting ... Strong, warmly believable three-dimensional characters who have fun, have fights and fall into intense love affairs." -The New York TimesAssigned to the same dorm their first year at Smith College, Celia, Bree, Sally, and April couldnt have less in common. Celia, a lapsed Catholic, arrives with a bottle of vodka in her suitcase; beautiful Bree pines for the fiancé she left behind in Savannah; Sally, preppy and obsessively neat, is reeling from the loss of her mother; and April, a radical, redheaded feminist wearing a Riot: Dont Diet T-shirt, wants a room transfer immediately. Written with radiant style and a wicked sense of humor, Commencement follows these unlikely friends through college and the years beyond, brilliantly capturing the complicated landscape facing young women today.
