Features: Alan and Pat are lifelong friends who have shared love, careers, and the joys and challenges of raising children. They are open and supportive of each other; they shop together, laugh together, and take great comfort in their unique bond. The book also features stories of other women: Ledy watches through the window of a shop and sees Jones, a former close friend who later became her husband's lover—can friendship endure the test of a "who's better" comparison? Leslie, the host of CBS's "60 Minutes," and her inseparable college friend, who fall silent after she starts dating. 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 friendships are classic fables.
