Description

Frances and BernardFrances and Bernard meet in the summer of 1957. Afterward, he writes her a letter. Soon they are immersed in the kind of fast, deep friendship that can change the course of our lives. They find their way to New York and, for a few whirling years, each other. The city is a wonderland for young people with dreams: cramped West Village kitchens, parties stocked with the sharp witted and glamorous, taxis that can take you anywhere at all, long talks along

Frances and Bernard meet in the summer of 1957. Afterward, he writes her a letter. Soon they are immersed in the kind of fast, deep friendship that can change the course of our lives.They find their way to New York and, for a few whirling years, each other. The city is a wonderland for young people with dreams: cramped West Village kitchens, parties stocked with the sharp-witted and glamorous, taxis that can take you anywhere at all, long talks along the Hudson as the lights of the Empire State Building blink on above.Inspired by the lives of Flannery O'Connor and Robert Lowell, Frances and Bernard imagines, through new characters with charms entirely their own, what else might have happened. In the grandness of the fall, can we love another person so completely that we lose our dreams?In witness to all the wonder of kindred spirits and bittersweet romance, Frances and Bernard is a tribute to the power of friendship and the people who help us discover who we are.

Exactly what I needed-a good button down inexpensive shirt
Size: Large, Color: White
This is a nice heavier weighted button up. I bought this for me (female) & so far I really like it.

Fabric quality good, Size incorrect
Size: Large, Color: White
The quality of the fabric is good. I like it. Don't like multiple tags, where everyone is moving towards tagless shirts. I had to literally struggle with scissors to remove the big tags on the shoulder. Size wise its little tight-fitting than my liking for formals. I think one size bigger than the standard size would have been better for me. I suggest ordering one size bigger.

Surprising
Size: Medium, Color: Light Grey Vertical Stripe
It’s a heavier cotton, but like it very much will wear it in warm temps as well as colder. Was true to size and the small amt. of stretch makes it very comfortable. Shocked at the price,I purchased fully expecting a bit of dissatisfaction.
