The tennis party: Four very different English couples, from aristocratic to "dreadfully sporty," converge for a tennis party. So begin two days of tempers, shocks, revelations, the arrival of an uninvited guest, and the realization that the weekend was about anything but tennis. A comedy of manners by a first novelist.
