Days Like These — Virginia Duigan

A hilarious and heartwrenching novel on pushing the boundaries between relationships and those certain friends with whom you don't have to pretend

Lou, a freelance journalist, leaves New York after the breakup of a long relationship. Taking refuge in a friend's North London house -- the nerve-center for a group of old university friends -- she becomes drawn into an escalating series of personal dramas in this searingly honest, undeniably amusing account of women behaving badly. It's about love and loyalty, deceit and disaster, and the onset of moral choices. In a world where you can touch most things, what -- and who -- is untouchable? Told with wit, humor, and sophistication, Days Like These tests the bonds between friends.
