The Dark-Eyed Girls, Judith Lennox tackles two thorny question s: can one find a perfect love? Or even a perfect friendship? As a storyteller in such books as
The Secret Years, Lennox has been likened by her admirers to Rosamunde Pilcher and Elizabeth Jane Howard, and this substantial new novel makes those comparisons seem not at all far-fetched. An affecting examination of the demands relationships make on us all, Lennox's novel deals with three heroines, Liv, Katherine and Rachel, showing how their friendship over the years is affected by the joy and pain that love brings into their lives. The three women are very different (Liv is the most romantic of the three, while Katherine is more hard-headed and Rachel a touch unadventurous), but they come to learn from each other's mistakes that a kind of happiness may be attained. Involving and sharply written, Lennox will win many new readers with this one. --

Product Description
Set in the late 1960s and 1970s, The Dark-Eyed Girls tells the story of three friends, Liv, Katherine and Rachel, and their changing relationships over the years. Liv, the book's central character, is romantic and looking for love. Katherine is envious of others' good fortune, hungry for experience and determined to avoid the domesticity that has, in her eyes, enslaved her mother. Only Rachel, the beautiful only child of wealthy parents, seems to want for nothing. Then a terrible tragedy occurs, and the girls' friendship is altered forever...
