They have been close friends for almost two decades, supporting each other through personal and professional crises - parents dying, children leaving home, house moves, job changes, political activism, diets and really bad haircuts. Now the 'gang of four', Isabel, Sally, Robin and Grace, are all fifty-something, successful... and restless."

I really loved this book. It's not sentimental nor maudlin as each woman grows through adversity and time considering her future.
