THE BEST OF EVERYTHING by Rona Jaffe
The new edition of THE BEST OF EVERYTHING by Rona Jaffe continues to receive great buzz following its publication. The New Yorker staff writer Rachel Syme, who wrote the introduction of the new edition, appeared on NPR’s All Things Considered on March 16 to speak about the book’s cultural impact 65 years after its initial publication. Laurie Hertzel from Star Tribune echoes the sentiment about THE BEST OF EVERYTHING’s timelessness, praising it as a “lively, delightful, and heartbreaking novel,” adding: “THE BEST OF EVERYTHING seized the mood of the moment and told the truth, and women by the millions devoured it. Sixty-five years later, I did, too.” Penguin Classics published the new edition of THE BEST OF EVERYTHING on March 14, 2023.
