Product Details


Product Description

From Publishers Weekly

Bestselling author Fielding (The First Time) takes a trip down memory lane in this romantic drama with a thriller twist at the end. Four women friends meet as young mothers living on Grand Avenue in an upscale Cincinnati suburb and, over the course of 23 years, collectively go through a whole range of human experience. In creating Chris, who's trapped in an abusive marriage, Fielding effectively captures the private terror of a woman psychologically and physically damaged by her husband. Vicki, the hotshot lawyer who cheats on her husband, is a workaholic mom whose family takes second place to corporate success. Susan embodies the modern mother who tries to do right by her family, but faces the challenge of a recalcitrant adolescent daughter and, later, sexual harassment on the job. Former beauty queen Barbara is a looks-obsessed woman whose devotion to countless plastic surgeries blinds her to the qualities that make a relationship work. With her usual page-turning flair, Fielding churns out a swiftly paced story that acquires real suspense when one of the characters meets a surprising fate and the meaning of friendship is put to the ultimate test. The tense denouement resolves into a tear-inducing finale, manna to Fielding's fans. 11-city author tour; teaser chapter to run in the mass market edition of The First Time.

From Library Journal

Four women remain friends through marriage, motherhood, and career quandaries. A common plot except that murder is thrown into the mix. Fielding, the author of best sellers like See Jane Run, will do an 11-city tour.

First Sentence
We called ourselves the Grand Dames: four women of varying height, weight, and age, with shockingly little in common, or so it seemed at the time of our initial meeting some twenty-three years ago, other than that we all lived on the same quiet, tree-lined street, were all married to ambitious and successful men, and each had a daughter around the age of two. Read the first page

5.0 out of 5 stars Page turner for sure, Dec 6 2006
By Y. van Hoek "Wiseowl" (Ontario,Canada) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I just finished another great book by Joy Fielding and as pretty much all her books it was a great read. The 4 main characters were well written and each of their stories was somehow connected to the other three. Not to many books have actually made me cry ,except this one as it is a very touching scene with one of the main characters delaing with her mother's illness. Overall I did not want this book to end and i highly recommend it to all.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Book I Have Ever Read, Mar 9 2005
By Danielle MacDonald (Nova Scotia (Canada)) - See all my reviews
I have read a lot of books over the last few years and this was by far my favorite. I now compare all of the other books I read to this one. It is such a moving story about four friends over the span of about 25 years. I often don't recommend books, but if you are looking for a wonderful way to engage yourself in print then i strongly recommend you pick this one up.

5.0 out of 5 stars Grand Avenue is Awesome!!, Aug 3 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: Grand Avenue (Unbound)
This is the third Joy Fielding novel I have read and I am hooked! Grand Avenue pulls you in on page one and doesn't let go. The four women in this story are well developed and believable. I am sure that every woman can relate to at least one of these characters. However I did find the descriptions of domestic violence very graphic and quite disturbing, so be forewarned! I recommend this book with a ringing endorsement. If you like a great read with deep characters and a little intrigue this book is for you! Danielle Steel eat your heart out, Joy Fielding has you beat hand down. Excellent summer read!
