2025: How much do you care for your best friend?
Muriel, a former bestselling romantic novelist, and Ruth, a journalist, are best friends. Inseparable since they were little, they’ve shared everything; unable to be without each other, even after the most vicious of fights.
Now fate has left them living together in a North London home, with Ruth caring for Muriel in her deteriorating health, playing Scrabble, arguing and making up, passing the days in monotony, ignoring the scars of their relationship. Then one afternoon, Muriel makes a shocking and sinister announcement, sending Ruth’s world into chaos. Only one thing is certain. Life, as she knows it, will never be the same again. .
London (Hampstead)
Location is not strong in the novel as the issues of friendship and illness are. The city of London is clearly where the book is set, and in the area of Hampstead where the friends live. This could be set anywhere as the story is universal.
