First published 1995
When four very different English couples - from aristocratic to "dreadfully sporty" - gather for a weekend tennis party, it's anything but a match made in heaven. Tempers flare, secrets emerge, and an uninvited guest crashes the party. As the social dynamics unravel, these mismatched hosts and guests realize the real game they're playing has nothing to do with the court. Kinsella's debut is a witty comedy of manners that lobs a perfect serve straight at the heart of class, love, and the games people play.
