Maggiori informazioni sul libro
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. Susan and Norma, best friends for years, were initially brought together by circumstance at a haberdashery shop in 1990s Leicestershire, and later by their shared reluctance to connect with others. Now, thirty years later, Susan grapples with her life choices as her husband seeks immortality and Norma achieves professional success. This novel explores the sometimes surprising journey of friendship, from its conspiratorial beginnings through its frustrating turns to a satisfying conclusion. Nina Stibbe's latest work is filled with charm and captures the mordant humor of British suburban life. Critics praise her writing for its wit and depth, drawing comparisons to Jane Austen. The narrative cleverly examines the intricacies of marriage, friendship, and work, balancing humor with insightful wisdom. Stibbe is celebrated as one of the great comic writers of our time, and her ability to blend humor with life-affirming themes makes her a go-to author for beautifully observed storytelling. Readers will find themselves captivated by the relatable experiences of Susan and Norma as they navigate the complexities of life and friendship.
