Best Friends (David Ling) 1993

Friendship, obsession, love, ambition, trust and betrayal are the common threads in Elspeth Sandys’ first collection of short stories. Together they highlight the fragility of adult relationships, and the complex nature of love.

The stories are set in both New Zealand and England.
