Guide: My Mother's Best Friend — Volume 2

Part Two: The Confession

Sylvie, terminally ill with cancer, tracks Clara down. What follows is a 70-page monologue that is the emotional core of Volume 2. Sylvie admits that she was in love with Eleanor. Moreover, Julian was Sylvie’s ex-boyfriend first. After a drunken night post-breakup, Julian and Eleanor conceived Clara. To protect Eleanor’s reputation (and her impending marriage to Clara’s legal father, a conservative banker), Sylvie took the secret to her grave—or so she thought. The "tuition money" was actually hush money from Eleanor’s husband, which Sylvie instead used to fund Clara’s dreams.
