Admission

　　In ADMISSION, Jean Hanff Korelitz explores the life of 38-year-old Portia Nathan, an Admissions Offi cer at Princeton who has hidden behind a busy career and less than passionate relationship. When a piece of her past that she has tried so hard to bury resurfaces, Portia realizes that she must take the ultimate risk, and in doing so, make the ultimate admission.
