It tells the stories of women and the men in their lives. There are Alison, who is an interior designer, who is single, Julia, a married beautician, Phoebe, a widow who is nor without funds, plus Trudie, a stress counsellor, who is also a widow.
They work through a number of issues that impinge on their lives in a number of ways. Poor behaviour, deceit, cheating, shocks and stakers.
This novel starts with betrayal (the giveaway were a pair of pink angora mittens in a place where no pink angora mittens had any right to be) and quickly slipped into risky, dangerous and drunken behaviour to the aural backdrop of Pink Floyd.
It careens through hearts being dented, if not outright broken, mistakes, some seriously stupid stuff and shows how you really can't keep a good person down, no matter how hard you try!
The women in this novel are there for each other and it works very well on several levels.
Joy Pearson is an exceptionally gifted writer who brings the lives of her characters to vivid life as they try to find some joy and happiness, again.
Will they succeed? You'll have to read the novel to learn that, but Joy Pearson has the knack to make you care enough to keep turning the pages.
It's published by The Book Guild at £8.99.
