The eagerly awaited follow-up to LADIES' LUNCH, beloved New Yorker writer Lore Segal's final story collection returns with further tales of the old friends who have loved and lunched together for over 40 years.

Lore Segal was a master of the short story, and this collection shows her in peak form. Profound, dark and often hilarious, Segal portrays her characters' foibles, eccentricities and passions with great compassion and exactness, as they grapple with life, aging and each other.

Readers of LADIES' LUNCH will recognize the educated, urbane nonagenarian women who have been friends for a lifetime, as they tackle aging’s affronts with wit, grace and resourcefulness.
