'A very funny and brilliant book. Feigel does a thorough and
virtuosic job of describing the dilemmas of contemporary
middle-class women' Rachel Cusk The five of them - Stella, Priss,
Kay, Helena and Polly - met at university, their lives full of lazy
afternoons and late nights. Friendship seemed simple and there was
such pleasure in the endless talk and in just living alongside each
other. Now the women are turning forty and they're finding that a
shared past can sometimes be a burden. They're all struggling to
navigate the ways in which their lives have differed from the plans
they made themselves and the hopes they had for each other. In the
past, solidarity came easily, but now they compare lovers,
husbands, jobs, children and sofas, asking how the choices they've
made or failed to make hold up. As marriages end and secrets
emerge, they wonder whether these people, the ones who know so much
about them, are really the ones they can confide in.
