City of friends / Joanna Trollope.

The day Stacey Grant loses her job feels like the last day of her life. For who is she if not a City high-flyer, senior partner at one of the top private equity firms in London? As Stacey starts to reconcile her old life with the new - one without professional achievements or meetings, but instead long days at home with her dog and ailing mother, waiting for her successful husband to come home - she at least has the girls to fall back on. Now women, they had all been best friends from the early days of university right through their working lives, and for all the happiness and heartbreaks in between. But when Stacey's redundancy forces a betrayal to emerge that was supposed to remain secret, their long-cherished friendships will be pushed to their limits...
