This year we published Suzette Field's A Curious Invitation: The Forty Greatest Parties in Literature. Parties are at the heart of literature, they're where the drama happens; this book is a compendium of who was there, what they wore, what was eaten and who said what to whom. In tribute to all the festivities in the book, we've asked our authors to tell us a little about their best parties, real and fictional.
Below is the opening extract from the beautiful new novel by Ellen Feldman, Next To Love recently published by Picador. We would love to know what you think; please feel free to comment below.
