Features: Alan and Pat are lifelong friends who have shared love, careers, and the difficult times of raising children. They are open with each other, support one another; they shop together, laugh together, and take great comfort in their unique understanding. The book also describes the stories of other women: Ledy, through the window of a shop, sees Jones, who was once her closest friend and later became her husband's lover—can friendship withstand the test of a "who is better" comparison? Leslie, the host of CBS's "60 Minutes," and her inseparable college friend, who stopped speaking after she started dating a boyfriend. Is same-sex friendship just a substitute for heterosexual love? The importance of loyalty, the desire for trust, the fear of betrayal, the confusion of jealousy, and the sensitivity to money—all the topics surrounding female friendship are classic fables.
