It is Columbia University, 1968. Ann Drayton and Georgette George meet as roommates on the first night. The two are drawn together intensely by their differences; two years later, after a violent fight, they part ways. When, in 1976, Ann is convicted of killing a cop, Georgette comes back to their shared history in search of an explanation.

Trade Review
"A compelling account of the 1960s and their aftermath, a carefully written and discerning narrative with closely drawn portraits of two prototypical women trying to construct a friendship across an unbridgeable class divide."--The New York Times Book Review"
