Friends and lovers

£12.99

Three friends, all exhausted young mothers living in Paris, take a trip to Tunisia to see in the New Year together. By the hotel pool, they relish a rare oasis of freedom, enjoying each other’s company, dreaming of adventure and reliving youthful mistakes (while making new ones). Three years later, the trio meet again, this time on a holiday to a lighthouse on a deserted island off the coast of Brittany. Their bond seems shakier and their dreams more at odds. Tensions simmer and resentments emerge as they question what is left of their friendship, and where it, and they, can go from here.

Description

Three friends, all exhausted young mothers living in Paris, escape to Tunisia for a New Year’s getaway. By the hotel pool, they savour a rare moment of freedom, reliving past mistakes (and making new ones) while dreaming of adventure. Three years later, they reunite for another holiday, this time at a remote, disused lighthouse off the coast of Brittany. But the easy camaraderie of their earlier trip has faded. Tensions simmer, and long-held dynamics begin to shift – especially when it’s revealed that one of them is writing a film inspired by their friendship. Full of humour and insight, Nolwenn Le Blevennec’s latest novel explores growing up, growing apart and the rich, if painful, bonds of female friendship.
