Now a Netflix Film
This intricate, fast-paced story, whose many scenes and details fit together like so many pieces of a jigsaw puzzle, is Didion's incisive and chilling look at a modern world where things are not working as they should and where the oblique and official language is as sinister as the events it is covering up. The narrator introduces Elena McMahon, estranged from a life of celebrity fundraisers and from her powerful West Coast husband, Wynn Janklow, whom she has left, taking Catherine, her daughter, to become a reporter for The Washington Post. Suddenly walking off the 1984 campaign, she finds herself boarding a plane for Florida to see her father, Dick McMahon. She becomes embroiled in her Dick's business though "she had trained herself since childhood not to have any interest in what he was doing." It is from this moment that she is caught up in something much larger than she could have imagined, something that includes Ambassador-at-Large Treat Austin Morrison and Alexander Brokaw, the ambassador to an unnamed Caribbean island. Into this startling vision of conspiracies, arms dealing, and assassinations, Didion makes connections among Dallas, Iran-Contra, and Castro, and points up how "spectral companies with high-concept names tended to interlock." As this book builds to its terrifying finish, we see the underpinnings of a dark historical underbelly. This is our system, the one "trying to create a context for democracy and getting its] hands a little dirty in the process."Binding Type: Paperback

Great Quality Natural Fabric Dress
Size: X-Large, Color: White
This dress was everything the reviews said - nice weight, well made, and great fabric. The suggested size matched my usual size, and it fit like a glove. That said, there was no extra room, and the fabric has no stretch.
I’m 5'9" and prefer long dresses to be closer to ankle length, but this one hit at an awkward length on me. For the price, it wasn’t worth keeping, though I do think it’s fairly priced for the quality. Nowadays it’s hard to find clothing in cotton or cotton/linen blends, so I really appreciate that it’s not made from synthetic fabric.

Disappointing second one with a damaged zipper
Size: Medium, Color: Iceberg Green
This is maybe the 5th Drop linen dress I have purcahsed different version for my two girls and I and this is the second one I have received with a damaged zipper. It is disappointing they fit well and are well made . I am not sure if the last two I have received were returned items.

Nice quality
Size: XX-Large, Color: Black
Very nice fit and material. I’m a size 14 & the XXL fits well - maybe a tad bit big, but I didn’t want it to be fit uncomfortably tight either. My only complaint is that the side zipper gets stuck right where the pocket is. But I am able to put the dress on without having to open & close the Ipper.

Gorgeous
Size: Large, Color: Black
I bought 2 of these dresses, they are adorable. They are well made, fully lined, quality product.
They fit so well and will be flattering on any figure.
I’m 5’10”, the length is perfect. Well below the knee.
A classic fit and cut

Flattering fit, great feel, totally worth it
Size: Medium, Color: Black
I had to squeeze my girls in, but I made it work, lol! This was my first time shopping from The Drop and I was so suprised by the quality. It's definitely a heavy dress but I really love how it feels and fits on my body. For context, I ordered a medium, I'm 5'2", 155 lbs, 36DD, and 30in waist. It's tight on my bust but comfortable around my hips and waist, which isn't a big deal. The side zipper kills me though lol so beware, lots of twisting to get that thing shut. BUT still worth it. great dress.
