Group

"One of the virtues of 'The Group' is that it is an unassuming and economically constructed novel...Even when it succeeds in reaching beyond its own narrative boundaries of time and place, it remains essentially what Miss McCarthy apparently wanted it to be: a period piece....Partly because of the nature of her subject and partly because of her virtuosity as a writer, Miss McCarthy has chosen a variety of tones to define her characters...As a whole, 'The Group' is a witty, moving, instructive and wise novel--a gem of American social history as well as very good fiction."McCarthy, Mary is the author of 'Group', published 1991 under ISBN 9780156372084 and ISBN 0156372088.
