New from Maria Semple ( Where'd You Go Bernadette, an exuberant & ingenious book and an excellent film) gives us Adora Hazzard.
Adora Hazzard has it all figured out.
"A contented divorcee, she relishes her teenage daughter, her job as a moral tutor for an old-money New York family & the bliss of finally being solo.
Alone but far from lonely, she's also quietly assembling a coven of like-minded single women on the sixth floor of the legendary Ansonia building on New York's Upper West Side.
Together they share groceries, dog walkers and one dirty little secret: despite their age, they're only just getting started.
Adora's life philosophy is simple, want only what you already have, but a chance encounter with a charming stranger may well threaten her joyfully curated life"
