"The traditional novel is our lives. It doesn't matter whether it is the eighteenth century or the twenty-first century-people continue to want the same things out of life. Our social mores may change, our feelings about various aspects of human nature may change, we may eat different food or wear different clothes, but we are still looking for the bluebird of happiness." -Joanna Trollope
The Best of Friends is a heart-breaking and heart-warming story of marriage, adultery, children and reconciliation.
