are so alive on the page, it is impossible not to feel a kinship
and intimacy with each of them' Daily Express 'Hypnotic and
profoundly unsettling... Masterful' Rosamund Lupton Sylvie, Jude,
Wendy and Adele have a lifelong friendship of the best kind:
loving, practical, frank and steadfast. But when Sylvie dies, the
ground shifts dangerously for the remaining three. These women
couldn't be more different: Jude, a once-famous restaurateur with a
spotless life and a long-standing affair with a married man; Wendy,
an acclaimed feminist intellectual; Adele, a former star of the
stage, now practically homeless. Struggling to recall exactly why
they've remained close all these years, the grieving women gather
for one last weekend at Sylvie's old beach house. But fraying
tempers, an elderly dog, unwelcome guests and too much wine collide
in a storm that threatens to sweep away their friendship for good.
