City of Friends

In this latest novel by Joanna Trollope, four female friends in London find that their lives intersect much more closely than just their mutual friendships. When Stacey loses her job by asking for more flexible hours, she doesn’t know that Melissa has recommended her husband Steve for a promotion at his company. Likewise, when Melissa recommends Stacey for a job with Gaby, neither of them are aware that the girlfriend of Beth, the fourth friend, works for Gaby and that there is no room on the team for Stacey. Sound confusing? Trollope weaves these threads effortlessly throughout the novel, and I found this to be quite an enjoyable read. Great for fans of fiction that enjoy reading about the lives of women and their relationships.
