    About the book: year / In the small suburb of Pleasant Court, everyone knows each other. Children are not afraid to walk until late in the evening, the doors of houses are not locked, and guests are greeted by a steamed jug of cold lemonade. But one day everything changes. Isabelle comes to Pleasant Court for work. In any case, this is how she explains the reason for her visit. She does not fit into the measured life of the town at all and very soon begins to attract the attention of local residents, especially women. Essie, Ange and Fran become close to Isabelle. They are interested in each other, because each has their own secrets. Why does Ange control everything? Why doesn't Fran let her husband near the baby? Why three years ago Essie walked with her daughter in the park, and returned home alone? How hard it is to keep secrets in the small suburb of Pleasant Court. And how important it is to understand in time: big things are seen from a distance.
