Lara Feigel's first novel, The Group , is an honest and fiercely intelligent novel about a group of female friends turning forty, some of whom have children, some of whom don't; about the difficulties in their marriages and in the relations between the sexes more generally; about whether they've managed to fulfil their earlier promise and what they think about it, either way. Taking its cue from Mary McCarthy's frank, absorbing novel about a group of female graduates, while channelling the spirit of 'real life' that animates the recent work of Rachel Cusk, this is an engrossing portrait of contemporary female life and friendship, and a thrillingly intimate and acute take on female character in an age that may or may not have been changed by feminism in its different strands.
