Publisher Description

From the prize-winning author of Reasons to be Cheerful comes a story about the ebb and flow of female friendship over half a lifetime

'I loved it so SO much! Funnier than ever' Marian Keyes
_______________________________________

Susan and Norma have been best friends for years, at first thrust together by circumstance (a job at a haberdashery in 1990s Leicestershire) and then by character (neither inclined to make friends with anyone else).

But now, thirty years later, faced with a husband seeking immortality and Norma out of reach on a wave of professional glory, Susan begins to wonder whether she has made the right choices about life, love, work, and, most importantly, friendship.

This is story of the wonderful and sometimes surprising path of friendship: from its conspiratorial beginnings, along its irritating wrong turns, to its final gratifying destination.
