Candida Wilton has few expectations of a new life in London following divorce and estrangement from her daughters. However, a 'windfall' enables her to gather her friends, from different periods of her life, for a journey of discovery to Italy. It's beautifully constructed with wittily observed characters and unexpected, subtle twists, making an altogether excellent read - perhaps not so comfortable for men - the references to whom are superfluous in this journey of 'sisters'.
