Description
It used to be Patrick’s idea that they must have the tennis party. In spite of everything, he has the very best setting – the White House, bought out of his bonuses as an investment banker. He hasn’t in fact told Caroline, his brash and beautiful wife, what the true reason for the party is. She is glad to welcome Stephen and Annie, their impoverished former neighbours, less glad to peer newly rich Charles and his aristocratic wife Cressida, and barely in a position to tolerate the deadly competitive Don and Valerie.
But as the first ball is served over the web it signals the start of two days of tempers, shocks, revelations, the arrival of an uninvited guest, and the realization that the weekend is about anything but tennis.
