Elizabeth Noble’s “The Friendship Test” is an exciting examination of female relationships. During a night of drinking in the 1980s, four friends Tamsin, Reagan, Sarah, and Freddie create a crucial test of friendship. They can’t turn against each other for them to survive. Their friendship lasts for twenty years until a crisis calls into question their values. This work which is masterfully written, expresses the complexity and potential of female relationships and highlights the enduring value of friendship.
