Description

From the beloved best-selling writer of Home Safe and The Entire Year of Pleasures, comes an excellent new book about women and men reconnecting with one another—and themselves—at their fortieth senior school reunion.To all the men and women in The Last Time I Saw You, this gathering means something different—a last opportunity to express something lengthy left unsaid, a getaway from the bleaker facts of every day life, a means to truly save a married relationship on the rocks, or an opportunity to bond with a somewhat alienated child, if perhaps over what her mom must wear.As the one-time friends get together over the span of a weekend, they uncover items that may irrevocably influence the remainder of the lives. For recently separated Dorothy Shauman, the gathering brings with it the chance of ultimately getting the interest of the course heartthrob, Pete Decker. For that ever self-dependent, ever quit-out Mary Alice Mayhew, it’s an opportunity to reexamine an unpleasant past. For a vet, Lester Heseenpfeffer and widower, it's the wish of talking shop with an other vet—or at-least that’s what he shows herself.
