The Last Time I Saw You

The Last Time I Saw You

by ElizabethBerg (Author)

Synopsis

As onetime classmates meet over the course of a weekend for their high school's fortieth reunion, they discover things that will irrevocably affect the rest of their lives. For newly divorced Dorothy Shauman, it is the possibility to finally attract the attention of the class heartthrob, Pete Decker. For the ever self-reliant, ever left-out Mary Alice Mayhew, it's a chance to re-examine a painful past. For Lester Heseenpfeffer, a veterinarian and widower, it is the hope of talking shop with a fellow vet - or at least that's what he tells himself. For Candy Armstrong, the class beauty, it's the hope of finding friendship before it is too late. As Dorothy, Mary Alice, Lester, Candy, and the other classmates converge for the reunion dinner, four decades melt away: Desires and personalities from their youth re-emerge, and new discoveries are made. For so much has happened to them all. And so much can still happen.

Media Reviews
[Berg] has a knack for taking you right into the soul of her characters, as they respond to joy and tragedy in a perfectly imperfect way. -- Chicago Sun-Times

A warm, unsentimental look at life way past high school--and the hope some people hold of reliving those glory days. -- People (four stars)

For the delightful hours it takes to read this novel, it seems that the characters jumped right off the page and joined the crowd for a casual family supper. -- Chicago Tribune

Marvelous . . . plenty of pathos and can't-stop-laughing moments . . . Readers will care about every character. -- The Oklahoman

Book groups are clamoring for upbeat yet significant works that are entertaining as well as enlightening; Berg's latest novel satisfies and succeeds on both counts. -- Booklist
