The Group - Mary McCarthy
With the Mumsnet
Book Club already thriving, we thought it about time we started reviewing grown up books and for this category we want to know what you think is the best book ever written (plenty of scope there then). At some point when we've reached a critical mass we'll be handing out a dazzling literary award to the winning book (watch out Mr Booker) so please add as many reviews as you like and feel free to comment on other folks' choices. As ever, if you have any suggestions for new categories you'd like to see, please send them over to contactus@mumsnet.com.

Sharp, funny, compassionate and ultimately thought-provoking look at the post-university lives of a group of Vassar graduates in New York in the 1930s. Educational on Roosevelt and the New Deal, Truby King, contraception, retail management, breast-feeding, psychoanalysis and lesbianism amongst many other things. A fantastic holiday read by an author not usually known for her fun value.
