From the publisher
Two women. One baby. And a man in the sceptic tank.
In their lovely Cotswolds village, Janet and Susan are known simply as 'the girls'. Partners in love and work, proprietors of a picturesque shop, they lead an enviably peaceful life.
But after one moment of surprising passion, the girls' lives take a deeply unsettling turn.
Part-dark comedy, part-crime thriller, part-cosy love story, The Girls will ensure you never look on Middle England quite so quaintly again.
