Lonely Crowds by Stephanie Wambugu
Ruth, the only child of recent immigrants, and Maria, a beautiful orphan, form an intense friendship at a Catholic school that carries them into college and the early‑1990s New York art world. Maria finds early success as an artist while Ruth drifts toward a quieter life, and their bond is tested by ambition, class, desire, and time. The novel follows their volatile intimacy across decades and culminates in a final, fateful confrontation.
