The Weekend by Charlotte Wood

Three long‑time friends gather for a weekend at a beachside holiday house, and what starts as a nostalgic escape slowly peels back layers of intimacy and irritation to reveal old grievances, hidden choices and shifting power dynamics; through sharp dialogue and uneasy domestic details the weekend becomes a compact, often unsettling exploration of ageing, motherhood, class, secrecy and the fragile bonds that hold women together.
