From the bestselling author of Iris and Ruby comes a novel in which
a group of old friends reunite to start a new stage of their lives.
Miranda Meadowe decides a lonely widowhood in her crumbling country
house is not for her. Reviving a university dream, she invites five
of her oldest friends to come and join her to live, and to stave
off the prospect of old age. All have their own reasons for
accepting. To begin with, omens are good. They laugh, dance, drink
and behave badly, as they cling to the heritage they thought was
theirs for ever: power, health, stability. They are the baby
boomers; the world is theirs to change. But as old attractions
resurface alongside new tensions, they discover that the clock
can't be put back. When building work reveals an Iron Age burial
site of a tribal queen, the outside world descends on their idyllic
retreat, and the isolation of the group is breached. Now the past
is revealed; and the future that beckons is very different from the
one they imagined.
