Some readers were shocked, but millions more were electrified when they saw themselves reflected in its story of five young employees of a New York publishing company. Almost sixty years later, \u003ci\u003eThe Best of Everything\u003c\/i\u003e remains touchingly--and sometimes hilariously--true to the personal and professional struggles women face in the city. There's Ivy League Caroline, who dreams of graduating from the typing pool to an editor's office; naïve country girl April, who within months of hitting town reinvents herself as the woman every man wants on his arm; and Gregg, the free-spirited actress with a secret yearning for domesticity. Jaffe follows their adventures with intelligence, sympathy, and prose as sharp as a paper cut.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eRona Jaffe is the \u003cb\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/b\u003e bestselling author of the internationally acclaimed novels \u003cb\u003eThe Road Taken\u003c\/b\u003e, \u003cb\u003eThe Cousins\u003c\/b\u003e, \u003cb\u003eFamily Secrets\u003c\/b\u003e, and \u003cb\u003eFive Women\u003c\/b\u003e, as well as the classic bestsellers \u003cb\u003eClass Reunion\u003c\/b\u003e and \u003cb\u003eThe Best of Everything\u003c\/b\u003e.
