Once Significant Others

A group of five friends who, some thirty years after they lived and worked in the same town, come back together to honour an old friend who has recently died. The weekend is intended as a celebration but merely serves to reignite old emotions and uncover long-held secrets. "Sally Rooney meets Henry James" - Jim Friedman "this honest exploration of human nature helped me understand myself better" - Ann Pelletier-Topping "a story that questions the whole idea of friendship and the notion that we can ever really know anyone" - Janet Philo "a deeply engaging book...every moment of dialogue and recollection is thoroughly believable" - David Punter
