Sundowners

"Rich, beautiful and bored, Rianne de Zoete is distinctly unimpressed by life at her new English boarding school. The three girls who have to share a room with her are just as dismayed: the haughty, arrogant newcomer clearly has no intention of fitting in with them. Riitho Modise, the popular head boy at the neighboring boys' school, has even more reason to dislike Rianne. His father is a political prisoner in South Africa, where the de Zoete millions are all-powerful. Riitho and Rianne may be from the same country, but they are from different worlds. They loathe each other from the moment their paths cross." "Despite their differences, a friendship is formed between the four girls that will carry them through the highs and lows of life in the 1980s. Rianne slips effortlessly into modelling, while Gabby heads to Oxford, full of dreams and good intentions. Nathalie puts her business brain to use, determined to make her mark in a very different way, while LA sunshine and a new man prove an irresistible mix to Charmaine." "Then the unthinkable happens. Rianne glimpses a face from her past, a face she's never really forgotten. A chance encounter in an airport lounge shakes her world and challenges everything she's ever believed in. Times are changing. For Rianne and her friends, nothing is going to be quite the same again."--BOOK JACKET.
