520 |a "Lydia Millet's vibrant, fast-moving double novel Fair Ones follows two Brooklyn women in their forties reeling from the sudden and baffling death of their friend Clair. Fair, Mara's account, opens in the wake of initial shock as she and Jen come to grips with the enigma of Clare's killing. Ones, told from Jen's point of view, picks up a year later as she and Mara wrestle with new relationships and old secrets. In this dialogue-driven, funny-sad fiction of companionship and solitude, Millet dazzles with dry wit and sharp prose. The narrator's inner and outer conversations, and their ongoing entanglement with the memory of Clair, explore the ways we create and define ourselves through others. Fair Ones is a love song to the intricate annoyances of families both chosen and unchosen--and to the banality, bombast, and humble beauties of midlife friendships"--  |c Dust jacket flap.
