Friends & Rivals

by Tilly Bagshawe

  Finally, huge thanks as always to my family, especially my husband, Robin, who makes my life an adventure. After sixteen years and four kids, you’re still everything to me. And to think they said we’d never last … I love and adore you.

  About the Author

  Tilly Bagshawe is the internationally bestselling author of seven previous novels. A teenage single mother at seventeen, Tilly won a place at Cambridge University and took her baby daughter with her. She went on to enjoy a successful career in The City before becoming a writer. As a journalist, Tilly contributed regularly to the Sunday Times, Daily Mail and Evening Standard before following in the footsteps of her sister Louise and turning her hand to novels. Tilly's first book, Adored, was a smash hit on both sides of the Atlantic and she hasn't looked back since. Tilly and her family divide their time between their homes in Kensington and Los Angeles and their beach house on Nantucket Island.
