Friday Nights
Friday Nights | Joanna Trollope
26 posts | 3 read | 3 to read
It's Eleanor who starts the Friday nights. From her scruffy house in Fulham she observes two young women with small children, separate struggling and plainly lonely and decides to invite them in and see what happens. What happens is that these very different women, Eleanor, Paula and Lindsay, are joined by three more: Jules, Blaise and Karen. Together they make up one retired professional, one budding DJ, one frazzled wife, three mothers, three singletons and five working women. Slowly, gradually and despite vast differences in background and circumstance, a group forms: a sorority of sorts, and a circle of friends. It is only when Paula meets Jackson, an enigmatic, powerful and seductive man, that the bonds that have been so closely forged are put to the test; jealousies, rivalries, even infidelities threaten everything the women have between them, even their Friday nights. Harmony is eventually restored, but not without its price: Paula must confront some unsavory truths about her relationships; Karen must completely reevaluate her priorities in life; Blaise must meet new challenges; Eleanor must admit she needs help at home; Jules has some growing up to do; and Lindsay needs a little love in her life With wit and warmth, Joanna Trollope explores the complexities, the sabotages, and the shifting currents of modern friendship.

AllDebooks @mcctrish I've been going round everyone's pages and spreading a little cheer. When I clicked on yours, it came up as an invalid user. So, I went back to your sign-up form to check. 😅 You're welcome to post something for this one, but this was for last Friday. There will be another one every Friday evening but with a different theme x 4mo

1- It‘s Friday night so I‘ve gotta say sourdough pizza!
2- Robin Hobb - I‘ve got three trilogies left them I can start back at the beginning! Something I‘d actually love to do
3- Kung Fu Panda
4- Definitely an early bird. Which is a pain, because I‘m married to a night owl!

Beatlefan129 I love Kung Fu Panda! Especially how you can see so much of Jack Black in the character 5y

1. Probably something tigger, books or Legos. 2. I‘ll only give books if they‘re asked for.. not too many other readers in my family 😒. 3. Younger than 35 (28). 4. Yes. 5. Already done! 😊 #FRIYAYINTRO

[DELETED] 3803335244 Oh legos! I loved transformers growing up. My mom reminded me I am a girl, like transformers are only boys 🙄 6y
Laughterhp @ForeverNerdy Haha! My brother and I would always play with legos! No such things as toys only for boys!! 6y
[DELETED] 3803335244 @Laughterhp yes I totally agree! It shows the generation though. I was not a girlie girl. No barbies for me. I still have fun with my kids with Legos! We build all kinds of things. Knex too 6y
Laughterhp @ForeverNerdy That‘s awesome! I bought my niece legos this year for Xmas, they are for Harley Quinn (so “girly” but still legos!) 6y
[DELETED] 3803335244 @Laughterhp Harley is an exception, her & cat woman, black widow, & pretty much all awesome female characters. I loved comics growing up! So awesome 6y

#friyayintro my turn:
1️⃣ Definitely not a fan of fruit and chocolate combos.
2️⃣ The Late Show by Michael Connelly
3️⃣ Seafood and Butter! Can't have one without the other!
4️⃣ 8: all in Maine. Both of my parents moved far away from families that were born and lived in the same town all their lives.
5️⃣ OK
Thanks @Bklover for the tag!
