Publisher's Synopsis
They have been friends for two decades, supporting each other through so many crises - parents dying, children leaving home, job changes, diets and bad haircuts. Now the 'gang of four', Isabel, Sally, Robin and Grace, are all facing fifty-something, successful...and restless. Isabel makes the first move, taking a year away from her family to follow her mother's footsteps across Europe. Soon Sally is on her way too - to San Francisco to come face to face with a guilty secret. Robin, in the wake of a clandestine relationship, heads for isolation in the country. And Grace? Well, Grace would never go away for an entire year, but she thinks she might take a short holiday in England. Once there she bumps into someone she hardly knows - herself.
