The New York Times has a great story about the re-release of Rona Jaffe's classic 1958 bestseller "The Best of Everything."

"The Best of Everything" has sweaty, illicit and brain-fogging sex; furtive hotel room trysts; tussles in boardrooms and darkened apartments; and searing emotions. It also deals with themes that Ms. Jaffe, now 73, says are still relevant to women: trying to balance professional success and personal happiness; pursuing an often futile search for Mr. Right; making mistakes without looking back; and finding solace in friendships with other women.
