Overview
‘Fast, uninhibited and stylish. Like Jules et Jim without the men.’ Mariel Franklin, author of Bonding
Three friends, all exhausted young mothers living in Paris, escape to Tunisia for a New Year’s getaway. By the hotel pool, they savour a rare moment of freedom, reliving past mistakes (and making new ones) while dreaming of adventure. Three years later, they reunite for another holiday, this time at a remote, disused lighthouse off the coast of Brittany. But the easy camaraderie of their earlier trip has faded. Tensions simmer, and long-held dynamics begin to shift – especially when it’s revealed that one of them is writing a film inspired by their friendship. Full of humour and insight, Nolwenn Le Blevennec’s latest novel explores growing up, growing apart and the rich, if painful, bonds of female friendship.
