The Thursday Friend
Buy the book from:
Hannah Drayton’s marriage appears respectable, but years of Humphrey’s ridicule and control have left her isolated. While he spends Thursday evenings playing bridge, she completes a children’s book and meets publisher’s assistant David Graventon, whose attention opens a private life of conversation, theatre and companionship.
The friendship becomes Hannah’s only refuge, while Humphrey protects secrets and ambitions of his own. When events threaten the future he has planned, he turns towards retaliation, and Hannah must decide whether David can become more than a Thursday escape and whether she can survive the cost of leaving obedience behind.
