Book News: The Empty Nesters by Nina Bell

Posted By Leah on March 10th, 2011

Nina Bell’s fourth novel The Empty Nesters is due to be released on the 1st September 2011 and the cover is finally up on Amazon. I have to admit, I’m hugely disappointed with the cover, it’s quite ugly actually, and I don’t understand why the publishers haven’t stuck to the previous Nina Bell covers which are beautiful. The book itself, however, sounds quite good! Here’s the synopsis:

Clover Jones and Laura Dangerfield have been best friends since their children were born. Along with Clover’s stylish, powerful friend, Alice, they share holidays, sleepovers, school runs and childcare. They’re like one big family. But all families have their secrets. When the children leave home, Clover and Laura’s lives and marriages change forever, and the old rules on love and loyalty no longer apply. And when Alice decides she wants what they’ve got, Clover and Laura have to find out who they really are. Without the children, can their marriages - and friendship - survive?
