Cigarettes

A novel about the rich and powerful, tracing their,complicated relationships from the 30s to the 60sfrom New York City to Upper New York State. As we,have come to expect from Mathews, nothing is as,simple as it might appear to be but we could,describe this as a story about Allen, who is,married to Maud, having an affair with Elizabethwho lives with Maud. What one can emphatically say,is that CIGARETTES is a brilliant display of,Mathews ingenuity and deadly playfulness.
