April 2012 Debut of the Month.
Written by the UK Editor of Vogue, a book - about how the future is never what you think it will be - that will stay with you for ages …
A "Piece of Passion" from the publisher...
'It’s one thing to edit a national magazine, or even write articles and features, but quite another to launch a novel. If there is one thing editing Vogue has taught Alexandra Shulman over twenty years, it’s understanding what women want. CAN WE STILL BE FRIENDS follows the lives of three young women in the 1980s who face all the trials and tribulations of every young woman who starting adult life. It’s about the importance to those women of female friendship; of the difficulties of finding out what you want to do with your life; how women do start out carve out their lives – with their careers and with their relationships -- in these incredibly important years. I don’t think this is a book Alex could have written when she was that age – it needs the passage of time to understand what was going on in that exciting decade and to forge that empathy with those young women. It’s warm, funny, and touching. I do hope you enjoy it.' Juliet Annan Publishing Director, Fig Tree & Penguin.
