Gina and Laurence have been the best of friends since\nchildhood—but they’ve never been in love. For marriage, they chose\nothers: Fergus, who gave Gina a lovely daughter and a life of\nelegance and wealth; and Hilary, who helped Laurence build a cozy,\nsuccessful hotel, and who counts Gina as one of her dearest friends\nas well. But when one of these marriages ends, the result is a\nshift that sends tremors through three generations and two\nfamilies—as friends become lovers, lovers become enemies, enemies\nbecome allies…and another marriage hangs in the balance. Joanna\nTrollope is the sort of author who “makes her readers want to drop\neverything in order to keep on reading” ( Publishers\nWeekly )—and The Best of Friends proves her consummate\nskill once again.\n\n
