Weekend by Jane Eaton Hamilton

In this intimate, sexy novel, two lesbian couples living next door to each other one summer in cottage country find each of their relationships at a crossroads. One woman celebrates her fiftieth birthday, which causes her to reconsider what she wants out of life and her partner; the other couple are the parents of a new baby, which cannot conceal the turmoil of their relationship. Weekend is a plaintive, moving exploration of the true nature of love—about trust, negotiation, and what's worth keeping in the end.Jane Eaton Hamilton is the author of eight previous books.
