I’m clearly not focused on self-promotion, as my newest book was published in May and I haven’t posted here about it yet! I am also offering a giveaway here. Or get your paperback/ebook copy here for the US, and here for the UK.
About the book
Heather said, ‘You’re all bones.’
‘Fran, threw me out.’
‘And?’ she asked.
Two women. Multiple secrets. The question is: how to forgive your best friend with a heart full of thistles?
Read with a friend! A Friendship of Thistles is THE book to read with your closest friend, or group of friends. With great discussion points for a book group. With that said, it’s also for you if you’ve never had a friend nor sustained a thirty-year friendship, or fallen out with a friend and are wondering how to repair the damage done.The story of Heather and Fran brings Edinburgh alive, during lockdown from 2019 to 2020. From a working-class perspective, Parfitt has created a memorable in-depth look at friendship and community.
A Friendship of Thistles is also the story of a nation divided. Through the lives of Fran and Heather, Parfitt gives her readers the story of a country and its people undergoing stupendous change to remind us of the importance of community.Recommendation
‘When Hector talks about politics, or when you talk about Covid-19: it is part of people’s lives, and the sense of community grows gradually. We feel that the virus impacts their lives, and we are emotionally concerned and connected with them. Stocking food and cans, the pressure to obtain a grant from the government, the craving for a bit of warmth, it’s very real.’
