The Best of Friends by Joanna Trollope
3.0
Not one of the best Joanna Trollope that I have read, nevertheless an engaging story of human relationships and their fallacies.
This book deals with two families, who are friends with each other, and how the other family is affected, when one husband leaves his wife for no apparent reason. As Trollope goes on to say, 'the consequences were somewhat like one oak being uprooted, falling upon the one standing behind it, causing a mass uprooting to occur'
I didnt like the parents much - they seemed too shallow and purposeless.
The kids were good - Sophie, the single child of the couple who initially separate, and 3 boys of the other family, in varying stages of teens.
I loved the premises, descriptions and thought processes much better than the actual story line.
4 stars for description, 2.5 stars for the story - average 3 stars.
Overall, a readable book.
