Hi there!
Welcome back to Satisfaction for Insatiable Readers.
Today, we’ve teamed up with Rachel’s Random Resources to help shine the BOOK SPOTLIGHT on a title that brings to mind the lyrics of a New Year’s Eve favorite, Auld Lang Syne. SHOULD old acquaintance be forgot? Or should it be faced head on to eliminate the potential for guilt, hurt feelings, and relationships torn asunder? Ladies and gents, time to take a closer look at today’s title in the spotlight…
Then and now
by
R.J.Gould
About the book...
Sandy is about to retire following an illustrious career as editor of an upmarket fashion magazine.
Michael can’t retire, he thinks his work to explain the dangers of climate change is far too important.
Jonathan is considering retiring from running his fundraising consultancy.
These three were the best of friends at university before a tragedy wrecked their friendship. They haven’t spoken since.
Fifty years on, they arrange to meet at a reunion. Having reminisced about student life during a wild and self-indulgent era with its heady mix of free love, drugs and ground-breaking music, they share their life journeys since the Swinging Sixties – the successes and failures, the happiness and despair, and their optimism and fears for the future.
The reunion is drawing to a close. Dare they tackle the incident that tore them apart, an event that has brought guilt for so many years? If they are to have any chance of reconciliation they have to, but the clock is ticking.
