A devoted stay-at-home mum in suburban Limerick, Jill has always taken pride in her happy home life, but now, with a workaholic for a husband, a sulky teenage son and a daughter whose only concern is what kind of picture phone she is going to buy with her Holy Communion money, it's hardly surprising that she takes refuge in the first really surprising thing to happen to her in years - the reappearance of an old flame and with him, memories of a time in life when everything seemed possible...And then, almost as if some sixth sense has alerted her to Jill's turmoil, her old friend Linda reappears, guaranteeing to dent any remaining self-confidence that Jill possesses. More beautiful, wittier and cleverer, Linda always got whatever she wanted...And now Linda wants her old friend to spend two weeks with her in the Dordogne. What could be more perfect? With a feeling of foreboding, Jill finds herself agreeing, as she always has. When they meet for the first time in years, Linda is as witty and gorgeous as ever, always the centre of attention. However, as two hot and sunny weeks pass, tensions surface and relationships come under scrutiny. Jill can't believe that all of Linda's charm and beauty can't stop her husband from straying. And she finds that she has changed too. She's not the little mouse she used to be. And when tragedy beckons late one night, the women's friendship is really tested...
