Insightful, believable and raw, there are questions here about all of our lives'Joanna Glen, the author of The Other Half of Augusta Hope As teenagers, Helen, Annie and Laura were inseparable, bonding over family, boys, and their dreams for the future. But when school ended, so did their friendship. Twenty-five years later, a snowstorm forces the three women to spend time together, leaving them wondering if they can reconcile the gap between who they are and who they used to be. GREENER is an exploration of the changing dynamics of adult friendships and asks whether old friends can ever let us become new people. 'Heartbreaking, philosophical and funny'Niamh Prior
