Just Between Us

Full of Cathy Kelly's trademark warmth, romance, optimism and wit.

In the Irish country town of Kinvara, the fabulous MIller girls are generally reckoned to have it all… There’s Stella with the looks of a Renaissance Madonna and a brilliant lawyer’s mind. A single mum who has combined work and raising her daughter with aplomb, the only thing missing from her life is the right man. Now, at last, she’s going to get a second chance…

Tara is the sharp, cool one. At the top of her TV career, she’s recently married the love of her life, the charming Finn, after a whirlwind romance of just six months.

And shy, beautiful Holly is living a bohemian life that all her old classmates envy, with artistic friends and a beautiful apartment where her creative talents find an outlet.

At the centre of the family is their mother, Rose, calm, elegant and about to celebrate her fortieth wedding. But nothing in the lives of Rose and her daughters is as it seems, and as plans are made for the party of the decade, the secret heartaches the four women have kept hidden, even from the each other, begin to emerge. Are they strong enough to deal with the truth about their golden lives?
