The streets of London are alive with VE-Day celebrations. In the crowd, twenty-year-old Freya Wyley meets eighteen-year-old Nancy Holdaway. Freya's acerbic wit and free-wheeling politics complement Nancy's gentle, less self-confident nature, and what begins on that eventful day in history is the story of a devoted and competitive friendship that spans two decades.This heralded novel follows the irrepressible lives of these young women. As Freya chooses journalism and Nancy realizes her ambitions as a novelist, their friendship explores the nuances of sexual, emotional and professional rivalries. They are not immune to the sting of betrayal and the tenderness of reconciliation.Beneath the relentless thrum of changing times are the eternal battles fought by women in pursuit of independence and the search for love. Stretching from the war haunted halls of Oxford and the Nuremburg trials to the cultural transformations of the early 1960s, Freya presents the portraits of extraordinary women taking arms against a sea of political and personal tumult. Anthony Quinn has created an immersive story of female friendship and the self- discoveries that reveal the mysteries of the human heart. 533 Electronic reproduction.|bNew York :|cEuropa Editions, |d2017.|nRequires OverDrive Read (file size: N/A KB) or Adobe Digital Editions (file size: 1255 KB) or Kobo app or compatible Kobo device (file size: N/A KB) or Amazon Kindle (file size: N/A KB). 650 0 Female friendship|vFiction. 650 0 Friendship|vFiction. 650 0 Women journalists|vFiction. 650 0 Women novelists|vFiction. 651 0 London (England)|vFiction. 655 7 Electronic books.|2local 776 1 |cOriginal|z9781609454159 856 40 |uhttps://naperville.overdrive.com/media/3158150 |zAvailable on OverDrive/Libby. 856 42 |3Excerpt|uhttps://samples.overdrive.com/?crid=b9f9f3d5- 9579-48c9-9829-1db4a10863b1&.epub-sample.overdrive.com |zSample 856 42 |3Image|uhttps://img1.od-cdn.com/ImageType-100/1523-1/ %7BB9F9F3D5-9579-48C9-9829-1DB4A10863B1%7DImg100.jpg |zLarge cover Image 856 42 |3Thumbnail|uhttps://img1.od-cdn.com/ImageType-200/1523-1/ %7BB9F9F3D5-9579-48C9-9829-1DB4A10863B1%7DImg200.jpg |zThumbnail cover Image
