The quiet lives of two British sisters--one a disillusioned divorcee, the other a romantic spinster--are interrupted by the arrival of two men. The novel traces the sisters' different reactions to a chance at love. One woman is a musician, the other a translator.The peaceful, contemplative lives of the Sharpe sisters--Miriam, a translator of French texts, and Beatrice, a professional pianist--are complicated by three very different men--Max, Beatrice's agent; Simon, a charming married man; and journalist Tom Rivers

Review:

How can anything be so funny and so sad both at once? Every sentence is an object lesson in compression and wit. (Tessa Hadley, Guardian Summer Reads, 2015)

She is one of the handful of living writers who can turn a sentence so graceful that to read it is a lascivious pleasure (Sunday Times)

A sensationally good writer (Julie Myerson Mail on Sunday)

Book Description:

A tale of loneliness and friendship evoking the origins, nature and consequences of human isolation.
