Book description
It is 1982 and Thatcher is in Downing Street, Human League is in
the charts and Dallas is on the telly.
But the girls of Albacore Street are too busy to notice. For Stella,
Bridget, Vinnie, Maxine and Nell, life revolves around demos, parties
and no-strings sex. Against a background of Greenham Common and the
Miner's Strike, however, they are about to learn that life is not
quite as simple as they thought.
Twenty years on and they are juggling like mad, but dropping all the
balls. Their partners are straying, their daughters want plastic
surgery, and their careers have stalled. Living increasingly separate
lives, the tie that binds them grows thinner, until tragedy brings
them back together, giving them a chance to refocus themselves on
their friendship, their misdirected lives, and their survival.
Felicity Everett is the author of more than twenty fiction and

Writing at Goldsmiths, she has now branched out into adult fiction and
