Publisher's Synopsis

Five years after their college graduation, four devoted friends remain as inseparable as ever. As this absorbing novel opens, they are making their way through heavy snowfall to gather at a lavish art world holiday party. But for all the glitz and glamour, the festivities mark a more momentous evening than any of them realise. Irene will first notice a curious lump under her eye. William will fall desperately in love with her. And George will, at long last, ask Sara to marry him. All good - until the devastating blow hits.
