Description

Fay Langdon's life has been marked by a series of choices that have led her away from her true passion. Now married to Owen, a successful solicitor, she finds herself drawn into the glamorous world of Julia, a self-absorbed woman who uses those around her for her own amusement. As their lives become increasingly empty and isolating, Fay and Julia are united by their fear of growing old alone. Despite their shared struggles, a deep-seated mistrust exists between them, one that has been building over the years. However, when Fay is driven to take one final stand, she must confront the emptiness of her own life and the true nature of her relationship with Julia. This poignant novel explores the complexities of female relationships and the choices we make in pursuit of happiness.
