The Dark-Eyed Girls Book

In The Dark-Eyed Girls, Judith Lennox tackles two thorny question s: can one find a perfect love? Or even a perfect friendship? As a storyteller in such books as The Secret Years, Lennox has been likened by her admirers to Rosamunde Pilcher and Elizabeth Jane Howard, and this substantial new novel makes those comparisons seem not at all far-fetched. An affecting examination of the demands relationships make on us all, Lennox's novel deals with three heroines, Liv, Katherine and Rachel, showing how their friendship over the years is affected by the joy and pain that love brings into their lives. The three women are very different (Liv is the most romantic of the three, while Katherine is more hard-headed and Rachel a touch unadventurous), but they come to learn from each other's mistakes that a kind of happiness may be attained. Involving and sharply written, Lennox will win many new readers with this one. --Barry ForshawRead More
