Book description
Four women gather to celebrate their friendship. A quarter-century of
intimacies shared, betrayals survived, differences reconciled. There is
Claire, with her unsuitable men; she knows that life will never give her
the one thing she has always wanted. Nora, the perfect housewife, has
kept something hidden from her friends for over twenty-five years.
Maggie has been unhappily married to Ray for longer than she cares to
remember. And then there is Georgie, feisty and opinionated, who has had
her own way more than is good for her. But tonight, the complex web of
spouses, lovers and secrets that has bound them all together is about to
unravel. And one of the four women plans not to be there. At a Time Like
