review 1: This book was a bit sad and rather depressing. It focused on a group of friends who were nearing their sixties, trying to re-establish the bonds of their student days. As their children had flown the nest, relationships fell apart and human failings became evident. I found the younger characters much more interesting and intelligent than their older counterparts and didn't really buy into the concept of Mead as a retirement haven.
review 2: Miranda Meadowe decides being a lonely widow in her crumbling country house is not for her. She decides to try and turn back the clock to the days of university and invites five of her oldest friends to come and join her to live, and to ward off the prospect of old age. All have their own reasons for accepting, but life
... more changes.This is a story of loves lost, new hope and one with some drama. Quick read and one I would recommend. less
