โฆ Synopsis
Annie, Ursula, Manon, and Penny. Theyโd been friends at college, close friends โ and on that last, apparently perfect Oxford afternoon theyโd drunk champagne and tried to imagine what the future held in store.
Now, they meet again โ same place, and another glorious summer. But Penny is no longer with them, and for the other three, this is a time to confront the reality of their lives. During the course of one highly charged weekend, old passions are revived, love newly found and long-held secrets revealed.
Funny, poignant, but above all life-affirming, Imogen Parkerโs new novel brilliantly pinpoints our hopes and fears at the brink of a new era.
