Julia Hunter and Kate Bain have found true happiness with men old enough to be their fathers. Julia organises her husband Hugh and their cherubic twins with ruthless efficiency and Kate has lived with James, for eight years,and although she refuses to marry him, she's apparently devoted to him. Hugh and James, lifelong friends, feel blessed indeed. But age differences cannot be ignored forever and when James accidentally knocks a fiercely independent spinster from her bicycle a chain of events is set off in which many suppressed discontents and frustrations emerge. Kate begins to seek out friends of her own age and Julia's career begins to blossom just as her husband's starts to decline ... The tranquil lives of the men and the girls seem shattered as new relationships develop and old anxieties surface.… (meer)

The cover on the copy I was reading had a teapot, a cup and a creamer. As usual, I love the way she gives you such a clear picture of the characters and their relationships. (

I thought I saw where this was going but it took some turns I didn't expect and ended up mostly pleasantly surprising me. This despite starting out the novel really not liking any of the characters at all. Glad I stuck with it.

Hugh, a sixty-something television personality, is married to Julia, 25 years his junior. His career seems to be on the wane, as hers is on the rise. Can they cope?

Meanwhile Hugh's best friend James, who lives with Kate (also 25 years his junior), has a minor car accident which precipitates a lot of changes.

Nicely done, covering some interesting issues as well as having a low-key romantic thread. Shocking at times, and bittersweet. Recommended. (

One of Joanna Trollope's best. Tale of entangled lives, falling in and out of love, working out how to live neither independently, nor dependently but interdependently. (

Because he wasn't wearing his spectacles, he didn't see her pedalling painfully along the gutter beside him in the dark and the rain, and in consequence, he knocked her gently off her bicycle.
