Sinopsis
Debbie Macomber tells the story of a remarkable friendship—and tells it in a remarkable way. Between Friends is a story in which every woman will recognize herself...and her best friend.The friendship between Jillian Lawton and Lesley Adamski begins in the postwar era of the 1950s. As they grow up, their circumstances, their choices—and their mistakes—take them in virtually opposite directions. Lesley gets pregnant and marries young, living a cramped life defined by the demands of small children, not enough money, an unfaithful husband. Jillian lives those years on a college campus shaken by the Vietnam War and then as an idealistic young lawyer in New York City.Over the years and across the miles, through marriage, children, divorce and widowhood, Jillian and Lesley remain close, sharing every grief and every joy. There are no secrets between friends....
Reseñas
Between Friends is the 68th stand-alone novel by popular American author, Debbie Macomber. It details the friendship of two women born in the same year in Pine Grove, Washington, over some fifty years. Lesley Adamski and Jillian Lawton have been friends since grade school and continue to support each other as they deal with everything that life dishes out to them, including, but not limited to: births; weddings; loss of parents, siblings children, lovers and spouses, and the attendant funerals; divorce; cancer; infidelity; the draft; survivor guilt; abortion; alcoholism; heart attack; rebellious teenagers and jailed spouses. Instead of using a straight narrative, Macomber tells the story through journal entries (with differing fonts to denote different writers), letters (to friends, family members, acquaintances, lovers and spouses), notes passed in class, accounts and sales receipts, invitations, announcements, want ads, bank statements and cheques, newspaper cuttings, funeral notices, certificates and citations, library request forms, packing lists, drivers licences, arrest dockets, emergency room charts and emails; in short, the incidentals of life. She firmly establishes the year with reference to popular music, actors, books, movies, the price of petrol and postage, and world events like the Church ban on the Pill, the Oil Crisis, Vietnam War protests, Iran Hostage crisis, Mt St Helens eruption and many more. Macomber paints a picture of a friendship that survives over distance and time. Her characters are engaging and realistic; her plot is sometimes predictable, but has enough variation to keep the reader interested. A heartwarming read.
