The Best of Friends

Gina and Laurence have been the best of friends since childhood but they’ve never been in love. For marriage, they chose others: Fergus, who gave Gina a lovely daughter and a life of elegance and wealth; and Hilary, who helped Laurence build a cozy, successful hotel, and who counts Gina as one of her dearest friends as well. But when one of these marriages ends, the result is a shift that sends tremors through three generations and two families as friends become lovers, lovers become enemies, enemies become allies…and another marriage hangs in the balance. Joanna Trollope is the sort of author who makes her readers want to drop everything in order to keep on reading (Publishers Weekly) and The Best of Friends proves her consummate skill once again.
