Description
Keitė anksti suvokia, kad jos gyvenimas nebus ypatingas. Studijuodama koledže ji apsimetinėja siekianti sėkmės, bet iš tiesų tenori įsimylėti, turėti vaikų ir gyventi paprastą gyvenimą. Giliai širdyje ji tokia pat atkakli kaip ir Talė. Tik Keitė nežino, kaip pasikeis jos gyvenimas tapus žmona ir motina... kaip ji praras save tokią, kokia kadaise buvo ir ko norėjo.
Ištisus trisdešimt metų Talė ir Keitė palaiko ir padrąsina viena kitą, nepaisydamos draugystės audrų — pavydo, pykčio, nuoskaudų, apmaudo. Ir kai jos mano jau viską išgyvenusios, geriausias drauges išskiria viena išdavystė... Jų drąsos ir draugystės laukia galutinis išbandymas.
From the beginning, Tully is desperate to prove her worth to the world. Abandoned by her mother at an early age, she longs to be loved unconditionally. In the glittering, big-hair era of the eighties, she looks to men to fill the void in her soul. But in the buttoned-down nineties, it is television news that captivates her. She will follow her own blind ambition to New York and around the globe, finding fame and success . . . and loneliness.
Kate knows early on that her life will be nothing special. Throughout college, she pretends to be driven by a need for success, but all she really wants is to fall in love and have children and live an ordinary life. In her own quiet way, Kate is as driven as Tully. What she doesn’t know is how being a wife and mother will change her . . . how she’ll lose sight of who she once was, and what she once wanted. And how much she’ll envy her famous best friend. . . .
For thirty years, Tully and Kate buoy each other through life, weathering the storms of friendship---jealousy, anger, hurt, resentment. They think they’ve survived it all until a single act of betrayal tears them apart . . . and puts their courage and friendship to the ultimate test.
Firefly Lane is for anyone who ever drank Boone’s Farm apple wine while listening to Abba or Fleetwood Mac. More than a coming-of-age novel, it’s the story of a generation of women who were both blessed and cursed by choices. It’s about promises and secrets and betrayals. And ultimately, about the one person who really, truly knows you---and knows what has the power to hurt you . . . and heal you. Firefly Lane is a story you’ll never forget . . . one you’ll want to pass on to your best friend.
