The Writing Circle by Corrine Demas

Corrine Demas is an English professor at Mt. Holyoke College and a member of a writing circle which, I believe, is highly unlike the NYC one she depicts in her novel. While the literary aspect of The Writing Circle is interesting, the story is mostly about the private lives of the writers. The stories of their relationships meld and lead to a slam-bang ending which catches the reader totally by surprise. Fun read. I was amused to learn that Ms. Demas is a Tufts graduate who is represented by a firm called McIntosh & Otis.
