520    In the unforgiving class system of the 1950s, Lucy de 
       Bourgh, daughter of one of Rhode Island's first families 
       and beneficiary of an ample trust fund, was married to 
       Thomas Snow, son of a Newport garage owner and his 
       bookkeeper wife. It hardly mattered that Thomas was a 
       graduate of Harvard Business School, or that he went to 
       work for a great Wall Street firm and succeeded beyond 
       expectations. In Lucy's eyes, he remained irremediably a 
       "townie." Decades later, a chance meeting brings Lucy 
       together with Philip, our narrator. They'd known each 
       other earlier, and he remembers her as a ravishing, funny,
       ready-for-anything hellion with a well-earned reputation 
       for generosity with sexual favors. He also remembers 
       Thomas, killed in a freak accident years after his and 
       Lucy's divorce, and is shocked to hear Lucy refer to 
       Thomas insistently as "that monster." How is he to 
       reconcile that unexpected and overflowing reservoir of 
       bitterness and resentments with his own memories? Almost 
       against his will, Philip sets out on a quest that soon 
       becomes an obsession to discover who exactly these friends
       were whom he had understood so incompletely, and what 
       happened in their marriage.
