Emily Hourican
- 'A
- Circle
- of
- Friends
- for
- the
- 21st
- century'
- Irish
- TimesA
- haunting
- tale
- of
- friendship,
- loyalty
- and
- how
- one
- decision,
- one
- night,
- can
- decide
- the
- future.In
- an
- exclusive
- all
- girls'
- secondary
- school,
- they
- become
- friends.
- They
- choose
- the
- same
- university,
- and
- through
- smoke-filled
- nights,
- lectures,
- sexual
- encounters
- and
- first
- loves,
- their
- bond
- deepens:
- a
- friendship
- which
- seems
- like
- it
- will
- last
- for
- evermore.But
- then,
- at
- an
- end-of-year
- party,
- something
- happens
- which
- changes
- everything
- ...Afterwards,
- they
- drift
- apart.
- Now
- Stella,
- a
- lawyer
- in
- New
- York,
- lives
- for
- her
- work;
- Laura,
- a
- struggling
- journalist
- in
- Dublin,
- is
- still
- waiting
- for
- the
- scoop
- to
- kick-start
- her
- career;
- while
- Amanda,
- broken
- and
- beautiful,
- lives
- a
- life
- of
- slow
- decay
- in
- London.Then
- the
- phone
- call
- comes
- which
- brings
- them
- back
- together,
- to
- the
- friendship
- they
- swore
- would
- last,
- and
- the
- night
- when
- it
- all
- went wrong.
