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’
