Meet Madeleine Hanna, an American student in the eighties, madly in love with charismatic, manic-depressive Leonard Bankhead, while at the same time Mitchell Grammaticus (a brilliant but withdrawn student) is sure that she is destined to be his future wife. You follow the beginning of their promising lives with interest. It's a very pleasurable thick read, funny and sad.
