A lyrical coming-of-age story from a brilliant new voice in American fiction. Thomas, a seventeen year old with the face of an angel, is living with his parents in a house that has begun to feel crowded; Alice, his high-school teacher & first love, is getting calls from her violent ex-husband; & Shiloh, a survivor of a life lived on the fringes, has seen his shack swept away by the mighty Ohio. They run away together
- in pursuit of an ideal that none of them are quite able to define
- finding shelter in an abandoned farmhouse in the hills of Vermont. But as the light off the lake turns grey & the leaves go brittle, outside forces gather. The sharp knives of dependency & deprivation begin to flash, & as the inevitable tragedy of intimacy unfolds, Thomas begins to see this time
- when he was with 'the best people in the world'
- come to an end. A journey, a coming of age, a novel of our need to hold onto meaning in whatever form it may take, The Best People in the World is a masterful illumination of a moment when everything was perfect & the realization that nothing gold can stay.

A Nobel prize-winner, Kipling was phenomenally productive & imaginative, displaying a literary mastery of idioms, technology & technical terms, exotic locations, & social range. He gained immense popularity, becoming (as these stories indicate) the knowledgeable spokesman for a wide public.
