‘A vastly entertaining screwball comedy’ – Washington Post
Decluttering her tiny New York apartment, Daphne Maritch decides to throw out any belongings that do not spark joy.
These include a high-school yearbook inherited from her school teacher mother, June, to whom the class of ’68 dedicated the volume. June in turn attended every class reunion, scribbling notes and observations – not always charitably – after each one.
When neighbour Geneva Wisenkorn finds the discarded book and wants to use it for her own ends, Daphne realises she wants to keep it after all. Fighting to reclaim it, she uncovers some alarming Maritch family secrets and sets in motion a series of events that prove to be both poignant and absurd.
Good Riddance is a vastly entertaining screwball comedy from the Jane Austen of modern New York.

Good Riddance (Paperback)
Seller: Grand Eagle Retail, Bensenville, IL, U.S.A.
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Daphne Maritch doesn't quite know what to make of the heavily annotated high school yearbook she inherits from her mother, who held this relic dear. Too dear. The late June Winter Maritch was the teacher to whom the class of '68 had dedicated its yearbook, and in turn she went on to attend every reunion, scribbling notes and observations after each one - not always charitably - and noting who overstepped boundaries of many kinds. Decluttering her small New York apartment, Daphne discards the yearbook. But when it is found in the recycling bin by a busybody neighbour, its mysteries - not to mention those of her own family - take on a whole new urgency, and Daphne finds herself entangled in a series of events both poignant and absurd. Good Riddance is a pitch-perfect, whip-smart new novel from an `enchanting, infinitely witty yet serious, exceptionally intelligent, wholly original, and Austen-like stylist' (Washington Post)." A vastly entertaing screwball comedy - Washington Post Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability. Seller Inventory # 9781785631689
