Book Description
This is a novel about love, loyalty and betrayal. Past experience leads Tessa Brierley to suspect that her husband Nick is, once again, having an affair. Her first instinct, as always, is to confide in her best friend Maddy. But a chance remark over mid-morning coffee reveals that Maddy is the latest 'other woman'. Tessa does not want to lose either husband or friend.

Set in the English village of Wychwood and the nearby university town the story plays out against a background of old rivalries, tensions between locals and newcomers and just a touch of lingering feudal attitudes.
