Janet Bretherton, a widow at 60, suspected of her husband's murder
and involvement in the fraud which brought his company down, exiles
herself to Puybrun, a small village in a picturesque corner of
south-west France, where she nurses her grief and tries to rebuild
her shattered world. She meets six other Englishwomen who live the
expatriate life. Earthy has fled from a hippy camp in a damp corner
of Wales. Carol claims to have slept with every man in the world
called Dave. Belle has a husband, Charlie, who may or may not be
real because no one has ever seen him. Joy is married to the
appalling Arnold. And Veronica and Poppy try to discover the basis
for the love they have for each other. The women form a group in
which they take turns to teach each other the lessons life has
taught them. At the same time, they grow more confident and
gradually reveal the secrets of their pasts. When Janet finds she
has attracted the attention of Leon, thirty years younger than she
is, yet seems to find her still sexually desirable as he invites
her to go dancing with him, she asks herself: What are his real
motives? And does she care? In the end, the process of discovery
reveals a terrible secret which forces the women to decide how much
they love each other: how far they can rely upon each other...even
when the question is one of murder.
