ABOUT
THE BOOK
|
| They
shared the same Christian name and they started school together on the same
day. One girl stayed as plain Elizabeth, while it was decreed that the other
would be Betsy. Naturally, they became friends of a sort. Many years later
they still meet - different lives and loves, different choices have marked
them. Elizabeth is safely married to a man many years her senior, whilst
Betsy has allied herself with someone she barely knows. Yet the consequences
of those choices, spelled out so long ago, have still to haunt them. |
