A cosy read

Three sisters, Fran, Alice and Barbara visit their hometown for their parents golden wedding anniversary and, as it's the first time that they've been together in many years, old rivalries emerge. Fran is the glamour puss of the trio, divorced three times and very wealthy, Alice "disgraced" the family with the birth of an illegitimate child when she was 17 and Barbara has been the mistress of a famous politician for 10 years. The eventually reveal their individual life stories to their parents and to each other,with Alice meeting her son for the first time and realise that there is an unbreakable bond between them which transcends time. Just when everything seems rosy, a terrible tragedy strikes which tests the strength of their love. It's an easy read and one which I enjoyed very much.
