Bookends: A Novel Summary
|
On the heels of her national bestsellers Jemima J and Mr. Maybe, British sensation Jane Green delivers a sparkling tale of old friends reunited and old jealousies rekindled. Catherine Warner and Simon Nelson are best friends: total opposites, always together, and both unlucky in love. Cath is scatterbrained, messy, andûsince she had her heart broken a few years backûemotionally closed off. Si is impossibly tidy, bitchy, and desperate for a man of his own. They live in LondonÆs West Hampstead along with their lifelong friends, Josh and Lucy, who are happily married with a devil-spawn child and a terrifying Swedish nanny, Ingrid. AllÆs well (sort of) until the sudden arrival of a college friendûthe stunningly beautiful Portia, whoÆs known for breaking hearts. Though theyÆve grown up and grown apart from Portia, the four friends welcome her back into the fold. But does Portia have a hidden agenda or is she merely looking to reconnect with old friends? Her reappearance soon unleashes a rollicking series of events that tests the foursomeÆs friendships to the limit and leaves them wondering if a happy ending is in store. Fortunately, Cath has plenty to take her mind off PortiaÆs schemesûlike her gutsy decision to leave her job in advertising to fulfill her dream of opening a bookstore. And then thereÆs James, the sexy real-estate agent who keeps dropping by even after the bookstore deal is done. With his irresistible smile and boyish charm could he be the one to melt CathÆs heart? Told with Jane GreenÆs captivating wit and flare, Bookends is above all a story about friendshipûits twists, turns and complicationsûand how it weathers the challenges of love, ambition, marriage, and, most of all, growing up. Warmhearted, sophisticated, and full of delicious surprises, Bookends is GreenÆs most dazzling novel yet. From the Hardcover edition. |
