“Gutcheon
writes elegantly.”
-Pittsburgh Post-Gazette on Good-bye and Amen
An astute
chronicler of all that makes us human, Beth Gutcheon delivers her most powerful and
emotionally resonant novel to date in Gossip, a story of intimacy and betrayal, trust and friendship,
and the power of ‘knowledge’ to sustain—and occasionally destroy what we hold
dear. “Lovie” Walker owns a small, high-end boutique on Manhattan’s Upper East
Side. Renowned for her taste, charm and discretion, her customers depend on her
for more than clothing advice. This is particularly true of her two best
friends. The three have known each other since boarding school days, and while
the two love Lovie, there is a little less affection for each other, due to a
perceived slight from decades ago that has unexpectedly tragic consequences
years later. Gutcheon is the author of such bestsellers as Good-bye
and Amen, Leeway
Cottage, The
New Girls, and Still
Missing, which was made
into the movie, Without a Trace. She lives in New York City.
