The Forever Girl
Electronic book text
Love - or friendship - at first sight can occur at any age. Clover is six years old when she first sets eyes on James, who becomes her best friend. As children in the Cayman Islands their companionship is simple, but the adult world is more difficult: at the same moment that Clover's mother finds she's fallen out of love with her husband, she realizes that James's father has feelings for her. And as the children grow up, James drifts away while Clover strives to keep him near: she attends the same university in Scotland and then follows him to Melbourne and Singapore, hoping he will notice her in the way she'd like. Clover, James and their families navigate these irresistible but perplexing mazes of emotion in Alexander McCall Smith's beautiful, touching novel about how love, even if unrequited, can shape a life.
