Telling Liddy by Anne Fine

Sisters Bridie, Stella, Heather and Liddy are very close and see each other regularly.

Stella tells Bridie some information she has learned about George, Liddy's boyfriend.  Bridie is concerned that Liddy does not know and feels that she should be told.  The three sisters together agree and the information is shared.  

Liddy becomes really upset and angry and refuses to talk to Bridie.  When Bridie seeks support from Stella and Heather she finds that Liddy is still talking to, and seeing, them and it is only Bridie who is being ostracised.  This does not seem fair as the sisters together agreed that Liddy should know and it was not Bridie who told her.  

Bridie feels left out and separated from her sisters, but with the help of her work colleagues she is able to look at and analyse her family life from a different perspective.
