Description

Lyndall Gordon's memoir is a poignant and intimate account of her lifelong friendships with Rosie, Ellie, and Romy. Born in Cape Town, South Africa in the 1950s, Lyndall recounts how these three girls, daughters of Jewish immigrants, grew up together amidst the constraints of their proper girls' school and the societal pressures of their time. Their bond remained strong despite physical distance as they pursued careers in New York, Oxford, and Paris. Tragically, their lives were cut short by untimely deaths, leaving Lyndall to reflect on the enduring power of female friendship and the complexities of growing up within a stifling yet fascinating cultural context. Through her memoir, Lyndall Gordon shares a deeply personal and moving story of love, loss, and the intricate web of relationships that shape our lives.
