Little Nothings
What you need to know before your trail
Liv Travers never knew real friendship until she met fellow mums Beth and Binnie. The three women become inseparable as they muddle through early parenthood together.
Then along comes Ange… Ambitious, wealthy and somehow able to do it all.
Under Ange’s guiding presence, the group finds new vigour and fresh aspirations – bigger houses, better schools, dinners at exclusive restaurants. But Liv can’t keep up and is increasingly edged out.
When the four families take a three-week trip to a luxurious holiday resort, Liv seizes the opportunity to reclaim her place at the heart of the group, only to discover the true, devastating cost of a friendship with Ange.
Travel Guide
Corfu
The island of Corfu is neatly described and evoked during the novel but the destination is only mentioned to emphasise a holiday in paradise, away from the problems the friend in the novel are facing from home. The novel could take place anywhere which has a holiday feel but the Greek island paradise works well as it suggests more isolation and a stressful holiday more than most.
Corfu, an island off Greece’s northwest coast in the Ionian Sea, is well known for its mountains and shoreline. It has a particular cultural mix as it has experienced Venetian, French and British rule before it was united with Greece in 1864.
Corfu Town, flanked by 2 imposing Venetian fortresses, features winding medieval lanes, a French-style arcade and the grand Palace of St. Michael and St. Georg
