Synopsis

Amy, Anne, Kate and Jane were best friends at school. But now, as they approach their sixtieth birthdays, their lives have taken them in different directions. Successful, dissatisfied, seeking something different in equal measure, they know that life is not always easy.

So when Amy invites the other three to her beautiful villa in Majorca for a long celebratory reunion weekend, each of them is drawn by curiosity... and each has a reason for wanting to get away from home for a while.

Against the backdrop of the stunning Mallorcan hills, the four friends will look back over their lives - the choices they made, the families they have built - and they'll reassess what is important to them and whether now is the time to grasp those second chances, or whether this reunion will change everything...

Goodreads review by Rachel

After the first four chapters, one for each of the main characters, you could tell instantly that they all had secrets, and had an inkling they were all remembering the school year they were last together, aged 17, in a different light to each other.

Goodreads review by Emma

I love Fanny Blake's books and this one is brilliant. Her descriptions of Mallorca make it feel so real; the villa, its restaurants and markets are mouth-watering.
