Title:
A Falling Friend
Author:
Sue Featherstone and Susan Pape
Genre:
Women’s Fiction
After
spending her twenties sailing the globe, making love on fine white
sand, and thinking only of today, Teri Meyer returns to Yorkshire –
and to studying. That’s when she discovers John Wilmot, the second
Earl of Rochester, and poet of all things depraved. What she doesn’t
realise is even beyond his grave, his influence over her is
extraordinary. To hell with the consequences.
Having
gone out on a limb to get old friend Teri a job at the university at
which she teaches, it doesn’t take long for Lee Harper to recognise
a pattern. Wherever Teri goes, whatever she does, every selfish
choice she makes, it’s all setting her up for a nasty fall. But
Teri’s not the sort to heed a warning, so Lee has no choice but to
stand by and watch. And besides, she has her own life to straighten
out.
A
clever, raw and hilarious character-driven masterpiece that follows
the lives of two friends with the same ambitions, but who have vastly
different ways of a achieving them.
