Friday Nights by Joanna Trollop

Friday nights have become a regular meeting time for six women of different ages and from different backgrounds.  The nights were first started by Eleanor a former senior administrator and now retired with time on her hands.  She chose to live a single life concentrating on her career and now realises she doesn’t have many friends.  She is an astute observer of people and spots two lonely single mothers and suggests they meet up for a drink at her house.   As they get to know each other their group expands.  They become friends and learn to rely on each other.  Then Paula, one of the members of the group, meets a man, Jackson, whom she introduces to her friends and things are never the same.   I liked the way Joanna Trollop seamlessly flitted between all the different points of view.
