Changes

It's a great story, primarily about friendship and how it can be abused and whether or not it's possible for a woman to have a male ''friend'' in the same way that she would have a female friend. I empathised completely with Elizabeth, with her preference for safety and a settled, ordered life. But I could understand the temptation of Dafydd Jones, who makes her feel attractive and intelligent. It was easy to see why she felt that she should be loyal to Diane, despite some of her less attractive traits. Yes – Elizabeth is someone who will stay with me for some time, standing out amongst a list of characters all of whom came off the page fully formed. Perhaps the best creation though is Jordan, the teenager who's handed around like an unwanted present.

If this book appeals then we think that you should have a look at absolutely ''anything'' by [[:Category:Lorraine Jenkin|Lorraine Jenkin]].
