Summary

Lifelong friends, now in their sixties, James, a teacher, and Hugh, a TV personality, both live with attractive women 25 years their junior. But the age difference is a time bomb, ticking away at the heart of both relationships.

Kate's hunger for a life more in keeping with her own age threatens to bring her eight years with James to an end. And how is Julia to cope when her own career begins to blossom while Hugh's is withering before their eyes? The arrival of Miss Beatrice Bachelor, a razor-sharp Oxford spinster, fuels the discontent in both girls.

I love the way the story unfolds with what seem like rather strange . It shows human dysfunction and their faults, so you can really Identify with them. The narration for me is exemplary

I have never read a Joanna Trollope book. To my shame I had an image of them which meant I didn’t think they would be for me. This was suggested to me and I loved it and of course Eleanor Bron brought it to life in a way that I don’t think any other reader could’ve done. Thoroughly enjoyed it, and would suggest that those who have never tried a Joanna Trollope book. This would be the one to start with.

A wonderful surprise
