The 'gang of four', Isabel, Sally, Robin and Grace, are all fifty-something, successful ... and restless. They have been close friends for almost two decades, supporting each other through personal and professional crises -- parents dying, children leaving home, job changes, political activism, diets and really bad haircuts.

Isabel makes the first move, taking a year away from her family to follow in her mother's footsteps across Europe. Soon Sally is on her way to San Francisco, to come face to face with a guilty secret. Robin, in the wake of a clandestine relationship, heads for isolation in the country. And Grace? Well, Grace would never go away for an entire year, but she thinks she might take a short holiday in England. Once there, she bumps into someone she hardly knows -- herself.

Gang of Four is a story of four very different journeys and a celebration of women in the prime of life.
