From the book jacket:

Two friends, two sons, two shocking and intense love affairs...

Roz and Lil have been best friends since childhood. But their bond stretches beyond familiar bounds when these middle-aged mothers fall in love with each other's teenage sons - taboo-shattering passions that last for years, until the women end them, vowing to have a respectable old age. With Adore, Doris Lessing, winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature, once again proves her unrivaled ability to capture the truth of the human condition.

Stand-alone edition of the story "The Grandmothers" from the book The Grandmothers.
