The Group

The Group is the most outspoken of Mary McCarthy's highly unconventional novels. America's great bestseller, it is a daring and brilliant story about the lives -- and loves -- of eight Vassar graduates ... "Brilliantly contrived, extremely funny and totally adult -- by far her best book" -- Cyril Connolly, London Sunday Times "Clearly one of the best novels of the decade." -- David Boroff, National Review "Miss McCarthy has once more achieved the continuing aim of her dazzling literary career." -- Charles Poore, New York Times
