"Both author and reader win this game of literary tennis, a comedy of manners" from a New York Times bestseller "displaying a wicked backhand along the way" (Publishers Weekly).

At their country estate, Patrick Chance and his wife host a weekend tennis party. As four couples gather on the sunny terrace, it seems obvious who among them is succeeding, and who is falling behind. But by the end of the party, nothing will be quite as certain. While the couples' children amuse themselves with pony rides and rehearsals for a play, the adults suffer a series of personal revelations and crises. Wickham's nonstop action reveals at every turn that matters may not be as they seem, and in the end one thing is crystal clear: the weekend is about anything but tennis.

"This featherweight comedy delivers a decided satisfaction." -- Kirkus Reviews
