  ‘A clear light on the ruthless habits of biography. Marvellous.’

  Days Like These

  There are certain friends with whom you

  don’t have to pretend

  Lou, a freelance journalist, leaves New York after the breakup

  of a long relationship. Taking refuge in Mim’s North London

  house, the nerve-centre for a group of old university friends, she

  becomes drawn into an escalating series of personal dramas.

  Days Like These is about women behaving badly. It is about love

  and loyalty, deceit and disaster, and the onset of moral choices.

  In a world where you can touch most things, what – and who –

  is untouchable?

  Told with wit, humour and sophistication, Days Like These tests

  the bonds between friends.

  ‘A tremendous first novel possessing real charm, a kind of

  freshness and guilelessness that is very potent – and a toughness

  and reality that I genuinely applaud.’

  William Boyd
