From the moment Lucy met her husband's mother, Diana, she was kept at arm's length. Diana was exquisitely polite and properly friendly, but Lucy knew she was not what Diana envisioned. That was five years ago. Now, Diana is dead, a suicide note found near her body. Diana claims she no longer wanted to live because of a battle with cancer. But the autopsy finds no cancer. The autopsy does find traces of poison and evidence of suffocation.

At the end of the Second World War, Cyril Conroy combines luck and a single canny investment to begin an enormous real estate empire, propelling his family from poverty to enormous wealth. His first order of business is to buy the Dutch House, a lavish estate in the suburbs outside of Philadelphia. Meant as a surprise for his wife, the house sets in motion the undoing of everyone he loves. The story is told by Cyril’s son Danny, as he and his older sister, the brilliantly acerbic and self-assured Maeve, are exiled from the house where they grew up by their stepmother.

Blindsided by her mother’s sudden death and wrecked by a recent love affair, Casey Peabody has arrived in Massachusetts in the summer of 1997 without a plan. Her mail consists of wedding invitations and final notices from debt collectors. A former child golf prodigy, she now waits tables in Harvard Square and rents a tiny, moldy room at the side of a garage where she works on the novel she has been writing for six years. At 31, Casey is still clutching onto something nearly all her old friends have let go of: the determination to live a creative life.

Let the people of West Mills say what they will about Azalea 'Knot' Centre; they won't keep her from what she loves best: cheap moonshine, 19th-century literature, and the company of men. And yet, when motherhood looms, Knot begins to learn that her freedom has come at a high price. Low on money, ostracized from her parents and cut off from her hometown, Knot turns to her neighbor, Otis Lee Loving, in search of some semblance of family and home.

Publisher's Summary
She'd made it sound as though her husband would be joining them for dinner. She'd made it sound that way on purpose, and then she arrived alone.
Los Angeles, 1934. Mary Frances is young, restlessly married, and returning from her first sojourn in France. She is hungry, and not just for food: She wants Tim, her husband Al's charming friend, who encourages her writing and seems to understand her better than anyone. After a night's transgression, it's only a matter of time before Mary Frances claims what she truly desires, plunging all three of them into a tangled triangle of affection that will have far-reaching effects on their families, their careers, and their lives.
Set in California, France, and the Swiss Alps, The Arrangement is a sparkling, sensual novel that explores the complexities of a marriage and the many different ways in which we love. Writing at the top of her game, Ashley Warlick gives us a completely mesmerizing story about a woman well ahead of her time who would go on to become the legendary food writer M. F. K. Fisher.

SUCH A DELICIOUS STORY THAT YOU'LL WANT SECONDS
What did you love best about The Arrangement?
The gorgeous language. Warlick's prose evokes emotion with deftness.
What other book might you compare The Arrangement to and why?
The subtle and sensual writing of Virginia Woolf, like MRS. DALLOWAY and Michael Cunningham's THE HOURS.
What about Cassandra Campbell’s performance did you like?
She let Warlick's words be the star.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
YES! I devoured this elegant story one bite at a time and so wanted more and more. I wish the story never ended.
Any additional comments?
I can't wait for Warlick's next book!

I hated this book
I am sorry. This was the most self important book I ever had the misfortune to listen to. The narrator had a lovely voice but it became so monotonous that I wanted to scream. I listened because I wanted to know how it ended. I regret wasting the time.

Trashy
If you like a story about a second rate whore
who lies, cheats and tries to get the reader
to feel sorry for her, this story is for you. It's ending would have been better if she had been diagnosed with cancer.
