Items related to The Best of Friends
Gina and Laurence have been the best of friends since childhood but they’ve never been in love. For marriage, they chose others: Fergus, who gave Gina a lovely daughter and a life of elegance and wealth; and Hilary, who helped Laurence build a cozy, successful hotel, and who counts Gina as one of her dearest friends as well. But when one of these marriages ends, the result is a shift that sends tremors through three generations and two families as friends become lovers, lovers become enemies, enemies become allies...and another marriage hangs in the balance. Joanna Trollope is the sort of author who “makes her readers want to drop everything in order to keep on reading” (Publishers Weekly) and The Best of Friends proves her consummate skill once again.

From the Author:
"The traditional novel is our lives. It doesn't matter whether it is the eighteenth century or the twenty-first century-people continue to want the same things out of life. Our social mores may change, our feelings about various aspects of human nature may change, we may eat different food or wear different clothes, but we are still looking for the bluebird of happiness." -Joanna Trollope
From the Inside Flap:
The Best of Friends is a heart-breaking and heart-warming story of marriage, adultery, children and reconciliation.
Gina and Laurence have been friends since youth. Now, each married, Gina to Fergus and Laurence to Hilary, the two couples are the best of friends. They live in the peaceful town of Whittingbourne where Laurence and Hilary run a small country hotel and have three teenage sons. Gina and Fergus enjoy a somewhat more lavish lifestyle in a beautiful house called High Place.
One day Fergus leaves Gina, who falls to pieces. Their daughter revolts and Gina turns to her oldest and dearest friend, Laurence. Soon his comforting becomes an affair and both marriages appear to be over.
