About this listen

Penguin presents the audiobook edition of Foursome by Jane Fallon, read by Tracy-Ann Oberman.

Rebecca, Daniel, Alex and Isabel have been best friends since university. Rebecca married Daniel, Alex married Isabel and, for twenty years, they have been inseparable. But all that is about to change...

When Alex walks out on Isabel, Rebecca thinks things can't get any worse. But then she finds out the reason why and she's left harbouring a secret she'd rather forget...

And there's more upheaval to come in Rebecca's life as her emaciated, neurotic, self-obsessed colleague, Lorna - her arch nemesis at work - suddenly becomes a regular feature in her social life.

Rebecca's once-happy foursome is now a distant memory and with hearts broken and friendships fractured, it seems that change is never a good thing. Or is it?

Critic reviews

Sparkling and unpredictable
Chick lit with an edge
It's gripping stuff... it's no surprise that her (Fallon's) characterisation is spot-on, or that her plots are intricate and involved. This is a great, intelligent read and I can't recommend it highly enough.
Witty, well observed and free from chick-lit clichés, Foursome will have loved-up couples everywhere questioning just how close they really are.
Hardcore Jane Fallon fans can breathe a sigh of relief that she's penned yet another juicy novel ... this friend-cestuous love quadrangle might leave you a bit dizzy- from turning the pages so quickly!
This witty, grown up and well observed story about marriage, friendship and office politics is absolutely brilliant.

Just working my way through all Jane Fallon's books, I love them. She is so perceptive. Great narration too.

Great book

Easy to listen to. No real meat to the story and I didn’t like the twee ending. I like Jane Fallons books but this one did lack a bit of substance. That said I did enjoy listening to it and would buy her books again.

I’m part of a book club and this was the book of choice and I’ve found it so funny, uplifting and all round my kind of book. Tracy-Ann reading is brilliant, the voices are so good they just add to the narration.

Funny

She always writes characters that you come to adore and is also a GENIUS at creating a delicious, dislikable anti-friend who you hope gets their just desserts. Great story exploring friendship. It had so many layers, I had to binge listen to find out what happened next.

And Tracey-Ann Oberman is a delightful narrator. Her voice is lovely and she translates the humour of the text perfectly.

I thoroughly recommend this - or any other of Jane's books
