  • "Trois anciennes camarades de classe se retrouvent après s'être perdues de vue quelque cinquante années plus tôt. Elles s'étaient séparées en se jurant, face à la vie qui s'annonçait, de décrocher monts et merveilles. Un demi-siècle plus tard, tout annonce qu'elles ont réussi leur vie mais, reportant leur regard en arrière, elles ne peuvent s'empêcher de se dire qu'elles l'ont bel et bien ratée."
  • "In 1914, three eleven-year-old girls buried a box in a thicket on the coast of England, shortly before World War I sent their lives on divergent paths. Nearly fifty years later, a series of mysteriously-worded classified ads brings the women reluctantly together again. Dinah has grown from a chubby, bossy girl to a beautiful, eccentric widow. The clever, reticent Clare has blossomed into an imperious entrepreneur of independent means. And Sheila--who was once the pretty princess of her small universe--has weathered disappointed aspirations to become a chic and glossily correct housewife. As these radically different women confront one another and their shared secrets, the hard-won complacencies of their present selves are irrevocably shattered. In a novel as subtle and compelling as a mystery, Elizabeth Bowen explores the buried revelations--and the dangers--that attend the summoning up of childhood and the long-concealed scars of the past."
  • "Een oudere vrouw tracht te achterhalen, wat er van haar schoolvriendinnen geworden is. Oude vriendschappen blijken echter niet zonder meer tegen de tand des tijds bestand."
