Product Description
Book Description
A gripping novel about love, friendship and discontent ...
Product Description
Julia Hunter and Kate Bain have found true happiness with men old enough to be their fathers. Julia organises her husband Hugh and their cherubic twins with ruthless efficiency and Kate has lived with James, for eight years,and although she refuses to marry him, she's apparently devoted to him. Hugh and James, lifelong friends, feel blessed indeed.
But age differences cannot be ignored forever and when James accidentally knocks a fiercely independent spinster from her bicycle a chain of events is set off in which many suppressed discontents and frustrations emerge. Kate begins to seek out friends of her own age and Julia's career begins to blossom just as her husband's starts to decline ...
The tranquil lives of the men and the girls seem shattered as new relationships develop and old anxieties surface.

Format:Paperback
Reading this book was like watching a really good television drama unfold. Joanna Trollope creates completely realistic, believable characters who you can't help caring about.
I sat up all night reading this book because I had to know how the various situations the characters found themselves in resolved. This book is mostly about relationships, some are breaking down, some are just forming and others are on hold, but somehow it makes compelling reading. A hugely readable and likeable book.

I have read all of Trollope's novels and this is my firm favourite. I especially love the characters of James and Josh. Beatrice and Leonard's interchanges are humorous and feisty and I cared so much about the characters that I missed them when I finished the book. I have read this three times and its still my favourite. Where can I find a man like James?

I absolutely loved this book. It was such a beautiful love story set in a beautiful city, I felt I was going through all the emotions with the characters. I enjoyed it so much I have sent a copy to my grandaughter in the USA. I am now looking forward to reading it again!

Very realistic, humane, Joanna Trollope writes about the real world, about real people. I am not sure if this is one of her best novels but I enjoyed reading it, I would recommend... Read more

Unputdownable!
Initially I was unsure of this novel because very little happens. However you are soon drawn in to the lives of the characters and care very much what happens to them. Read more
