Maddy, Rosie and Sophie, friends since their Dublin schooldays, meet in the Pink Parrot to

discuss hair styles, clothes, work and of course boyfriends. They commiserate with each other. They celebrate together, clinking glasses and toasting themselves: "Forever friends!"

As Maddy battles to gain recognition in the male-dominated property business, she takes her own first tentative but exciting step on the property ladder. She thrives on the cut and thrust of the property boom—she loves her house, her family and her friends. Life is good. All that is missing is a man to share it all with. Enter the gorgeous Greg Delaney! Dream on, Rosie and Sophie!

Talk in the Pink Parrot turns from boyfriends to wedding plans. But as the years roll by, will they still—at their joint fiftieth birthday celebration—be able to raise their glasses and toast to "Forever friends! May nothing ever come between us!"?
