Carole S. (USA: IN) (2009/12/15):
From the book cover: Ambitious and talented, Glenda Stanhope leaves her working-class childhood behind when she accepts a scholarship to study at Cambridge University. There she meets three exceptional women from vastly different backgrounds, and in the heady, exciting atmosphere of the 1960's, the four begin a friendship that will sustain and threaten each of them over the next 20 years.Despite her thrilling freedom, Glenda cannot completely escape her origins. Her love for Clive Alexander, the brilliant but unstable heir to a wealthy estate, is placed in jeopardy by his family's harsh disapproval. To save their marriage, Glenda faces the greatest challenge she has ever known. And when she is inexplicably drawn to her best friends husband, her choices become all the more heartbreaking and difficult.
