Books and the pleasures of reading link the lives of Dido and Georgia, both now sixty, friends since University. Neither envisages what lies in store. Dido will doubt her husband and suffer ill-health; Georgia must cope with widowhood and an eccentric country cousin suffering from dementia; both will worry about their children's love lives and for a time even their friendship will falter. Written with Gee's usual panache, sad, funny and ultimately uplifting.
