The Truth About Female Friendship&#x27; has been described as &quot;an agenda-setting, personal and humorous book that pulls back the cover on the most underappreciated relationships in our lives to interrogate what modern friendship means, why we need it and what we can do to get the most from it.&quot;Set against a backdrop of 376-acres of National Trust grounds, Cliveden’s story is one of over 350 years of powerful personalities, friendships, iconic parties, and scandalous affairs. Our Summer Day out will provide the perfect combination of curated connections, summer fare and a thought-provoking conversation with Claire.Claire Cohen is an award-winning journalist and the author of &#x27;BFF?

BFF is like having a best mate on your bookshelf, and I&#x27;ll be giving it to all of the women I love! -- Daisy Buchanan * author of Careering, Insatiable and How to Be a Grown Up *Having seriously struggled with friendship over the years, I picked up this wonderful book feeling like an imposter and put it down feeling hugely relieved. Claire Cohen calmly and brilliantly irons out the shaming crinkles in how we can think about female friendship, reframing it with analysis, understanding, and appreciation. This terrific book more than stands its ground against the tyrannical memories of Forever Friends merchandise while making a heartening case for a portfolio of friendship types. -- Kat Brown * editor of No One Talks about This Stuff *GRAZIA SUMMER READ. With input from psychologists, experts and women&#x27;s women like Jane Garvey and MP Jess Phillips, Cohen interrogates the myths and pop culture tropes around female friendship and highlights the pressure points. -- Summer reads * Grazia *
