International bestselling author
'Trollope at her best.'
The Spectator
A poignant novel about friendships and betrayal.
Gina and Laurence had been the best of friends ever since they were teenagers. They had never been in love – just friends.
Now, Gina is married to the exquisitely tasteful Fergus and lives in stylish perfection at High Place. Laurence is married to down-to-earth Hilary and they have spent their married life turning The Bee House into both home and hotel.
Then, with elegant disdain, Fergus announces he is leaving Gina and their teenage daughter. As Gina's misery ricochets through the two homes, she turns for emotional support to Laurence, her dearest friend. And as Laurence gives comfort, so his own marriage, and the stability of his children, edges towards destruction.
'Undeniably warmhearted and socially topical ... above all a novel filled with good advice.'
The Observer
'Truly, I couldn't put it down. I'm telling you, Trollope is a significant chronicler.'
The Daily Mail
'Trollope has a keen ear for the yelps of distress, as lives are sliced in half by shabby betrayal ... A book that is as enjoyable as it is thoughtful.'
The Times
'Trollope's bleakest and most satisfying work to date.'
The Sunday Times
