Friends and Lovers

By Nolwenn Le Blevennec

'Fast, uninhibited and stylish. Like Jules et Jim without the men.' Mariel Franklin, author of Bonding

Three friends, all exhausted young mothers living in Paris, escape to Tunisia for a New Year's getaway. By the hotel pool, they savour a rare moment of freedom, reliving past mistakes (and making new ones) while dreaming of adventure. Three years later, they reunite for another holiday, this time at a remote, disused lighthouse off the coast of Brittany. But the easy camaraderie of their earlier trip has faded. Tensions simmer, and long-held dynamics begin to shift - especially when it's revealed that one of them is writing a film inspired by their friendship.

Full of humour and insight, Nolwenn Le Blevennec's latest novel explores growing up, growing apart and the rich, if painful, bonds of female friendship.
