A story of friendship and loneliness, of losing and searching and
occasional joy. Everyone in this novel would like to go back in one
way or another - back home, back to the past, back to being
friends, even back to being lovers. There's Bill who has recently
been widowed and is feeling restless as well as bereft - he'd like
to go back to his lost love from his student days. She's Joan, also
on her own and intrigued by the prospect of seeing him again. And
there's Viv, Joan's friend, who becomes entangled in Bill's search.
Meanwhile, Joan is having her own misfortunes at the other end of
the country, and when she returns home she seems to have changed
and to be unresponsive to Viv's friendship. The adventures of all
three are woven into a comedy of errors in this gently under-stated
story from the author of 'Who Your Friends Are', 'The Roads They
Travelled', and 'Hollin Clough'. As usual, her sharp eye for detail
brings to life her quietly woven characters, who find their way to
a finale which holds possibilities and risks for each of them.
