At a Time Like This

Four women gather to celebrate 25 years of friendship. A quarter of a century of intimacies shared, betrayals survived, differences reconciled. Claire, with her pre-Raphaelite good looks, her artistic talent, her taste for unsuitable men. She knows that life will never give her the one thing she has always wanted. Maura, with her obsessive housewifery, her perfect family, her status as the reluctant outsider. She has concealed a secret from her best friends for over 25 years. Maggie, unhappily married to a serial philanderer, for too long. Now, she has plans: a bright future, a home, a life without him. And then, Georgie, the undisputed leader of the group. Spiky, opinionated, assertivebut tonight, Georgie never turns up. At a time like this, things can never be the same again.
