The story traces the lives of six high school girlfriends from 1917, told through the memories of one. It is now twenty years later, and she is a middle class Bronx housewife. One girl has become a world-famous actress; another is a frustrated concert singer who finds fulfillment in teaching music; one is a "boyfriend stealer" who lives to regret her actions; another marries a Russian engineer and "finds satisfaction in being solemn about the future of the Soviet Union" and of course there is a career woman....Several months before the book's publication, it was announced that David O. Selznick had purchased the movie rights, but despite the efforts of a number of screenwriters (among them Budd Schulberg), no movie ever reached the screen.
History of The Merry Maidens
The Merry Maidens lie in a field adjacent to the B3315, the Newlyn-to-Land's End road. This is the best known and preserved circle in Cornwall: it is believed to be complete, which is rare. Its nineteen granite stones are not large (the tallest, 1.4m high, is in the south west, and the shortest directly opposite), but neat and regular, and form a perfect circle of 23.8m (77ft 10in) diameter. The stones are regularly spaced and exactly at the east there is a gap (an entrance or the site of a missing stone).
