It’s almost forty years since they left the convent and went their separate ways, but now the old school friends are planning to meet again.
Bonnie, shattered by the death of her husband, is back in Australia after decades in Europe, and she’s discovering that while financial security eliminates worry, she seems not to have a life.
Fran, long divorced, is a struggling freelance food writer, battling to balance her diet, her bank balance and her relationship with her adult children.
And Sylvia, marooned in a long and sterile marriage to an ambitious Anglican minister, and facing a crisis that will crack her world wide open.
They had almost forgotten how it feels confide in women friends, but back together again, sharing their past lives, their secrets, their aspirations and their deepest fears Sylvia, Fran and Bonnie embark on a creative venture that will challenge everything they thought they knew about themselves and will change their lives for ever.
