About this ebook
From the bestselling author of A Month of Sundays, with new novel At the End of the Day out now.
"A relevant, enjoyable read for all women, and for men who seek to understand them" Good Reading
"In a word: inspiring." Herald Sun
It's almost forty years since the three ex-convent girls left school and went their separate ways, but finally they meet again.Bonnie, rocked by the death of her husband, is back in Australia after decades in Europe, and is discovering that while financial security eliminates worry, it doesn't guarantee a fulfilling life. Fran, long divorced, is a struggling freelance food writer, battling with her diet, her bank balance, and her relationship with her adult children. And Sylvia, marooned in a long and passionless marriage to an ambitious Anglican minister, is facing a crisis that will crack her world wide open.
Together again, sharing their past lives, secrets, aspirations and deepest fears, Bonnie, Fran and Sylvia embark on a creative venture that will challenge everything they thought they knew about themselves-and give them more second chances than they ever could have imagined.

I just loved every minute of this book. I laughed and cried but didn't want it to end. I also have read Gang of Four and Belly Dancing for Beginners and just loved them also. Can't wait to start my next Liz Byrski. book.

Youv've done it again, Liz! Unputdownable, 3 generations, different life experiences, all "comng of age" in their different ways. Being of the age of Irene, her experiences are affirming! More please Liz!
