Three Irish schoolfriends Heather, Niamh and Lauren bonded over early morning swims at the lake and thought they’d be together for ever. But then they had a falling out and went their separate ways.
Now 15 years later, the three women are back. Heather, who was raised in a hippy family without much parenting, is helping her mother pack up her house.
Niamh, who has had a family with teacher Evan, is considering setting up a B&B. And Lauren is back because her beloved grandmother Rosemary left her the house.
In conjunction with the current-day storyline, the book dips into the past lives of the women, leading up to their big argument. Neither their feud nor their reunion made much of a splash.
