THIS BOOK IS AN ADVANCE READING COPY
Part comedy of manners, part treasure hunt, the first novel from the writer whom David Sedaris calls \"perfectly, relentlessly funny\"Kezia, Nathaniel, and Victor are reunited for the extravagant wedding of a college friend. Now at the tail end of their twenties, they arrive completely absorbed in their own lives-Kezia the second-in-command to a madwoman jewelry designer in Manhattan; Nathaniel the former literary cool kid, selling his wares in Hollywood; and the Eeyore-esque Victor, just fired from a middling search engine. They soon slip back into old roles: Victor loves Kezia. Kezia loves Nathaniel. Nathaniel loves Nathaniel.
In the midst of all this semi-merriment, Victor passes out in the mother of the groom\'s bedroom. He wakes to her jovially slapping him across the face. Instead of a scolding, she offers Victor a story she\'s never even told her son, about a valuable necklace that disappeared during the Nazi occupation of France.
And so a madcap adventure is set into motion, one that leads Victor, Kezia, and Nathaniel from Miami to New York and L.A. to Paris and across France, until they converge at the estate of Guy de Maupassant, author of the classic short story \"The Necklace.\"
Heartfelt, suspenseful, and told with Sloane Crosley\'s inimitable spark and wit, The Clasp is a story of friends struggling to fit together now that their lives haven\'t gone as planned, of how to separate the real from the fake. Such a task might be possible when it comes to precious stones, but is far more difficult to pull off with humans.

Frequently Asked Questions

Below are answers to questions I am asked the most or you may want to ask:

Do you combine shipping on multiple items? Yes, when possible. This may sometimes result in more than one package, as in the case of a set of books. May not be possible with fragile items.
I noticed you do not have a \"Buy It Now\" on your listing. I really want/need this item. Will you consider taking a BIN offer? No. I do not end sales early, as that would not be fair to those who placed offers, or have it on their watch list. If you do not see a BIN price, the opening offer has been placed or I purposely did not include one.
I did not receive my item yet. Where is it? When will I get it? When did you ship it? This is the one I get the most and is the most frustrating. I ship items in the specified time. You will get a tracking number when I purchase the shipping label, and you can find it in \"My \" under Purchasing History. Simply click on it to find out where your package is. As far as when you will get it, that is totally up the USPS, not me since I do not work for them. Once a package is in the hands of the USPS, there is nothing more I can do about it.
When will you leave me response? I update my response two or three times a month. Please be patient - I did not forget you!
Do you insure packages? In some cases I will add insurance at my discretion. When I do this, it is at my expense. You have the option of insuring your package if you like, at your cost. Just contact me after the sale ends, and I will send you a modified invoice
Do you allow local pick-ups? I\'m sorry, I don\'t allow pick-ups. If you happen to live in my town, I will be happy to drop it off to your house free of any shipping charges!
