The restless summer of 1974… Kate Mularkey has come to terms with her place in the food chain of her eighth-grade school community. Suddenly, to her astonishment, the coolest girl in the world steps onto the scene and wants to be her friend. Tully Hart has it all: beauty, brains, ambition.
On the surface, they are as different as two people can be. Kate is doomed to remain forever the uncool one, with a loving family who embarrass her at every turn. Tully, surrounded by glory and an aura of mystery, hides a secret that is destroying her. They make a pact and become best friends for ever; before the summer is over, they are Tully-and-Kate, a single, inseparable entity.
So begins Kristin Hannah's spectacular novel, adapted as a series available on Netflix. The story spans more than three decades, with events unfolding on the turbulent north-west coast of the Pacific.
Firefly Lane is a poignant, tart tale of two women and the friendship that was the axis of their lives. Over thirty years, Tully and Kate lift each other's spirits, saving their friendship from storms: jealousy, fury, hurt, regret. And just when they think nothing can frighten them, one act of betrayal ruins their relationship, putting the women's courage and friendship to the ultimate test.
