&#160; &#160; &#160; THE OTHER'S GOLD by Elizabeth Ames (Pushkin £12.99, 368 pp)&lt;br&gt;Four students meet at college and form an immediate bond in Elizabeth Ames's smoothly written but dissatisfying novel about the ethical consequences of rash decisions.&lt;br&gt;Alice is a medical student haunted by injuries she intentionally inflicted on her brother when she was 12; gorgeous-looking Margaret turns heads wherever she goes; Ji Sun is a hugely wealthy Korean who in her final year accuses a professor of sexual harassment while Lainey is intent on a life of political activism.&lt;br&gt; Over the course of their lives, Ames keeps adjusting the lens on the relationships through a series of moral dilemmas that affect how each of them sees the other.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Yet while she writes confidently and insightfully about the complexities of female friendship, her tack is emotional rather than philosophical, while her novel feels both schematic and frustratingly wayward.&lt;br&gt;</div></td></tr> </table>

&#160; &#160; &#160; THE OTHER'S GOLD by Elizabeth Ames (Pushkin £12.99, 368 pp)&lt;br&gt;Four students meet at college and form an immediate bond in Elizabeth Ames's smoothly written but dissatisfying novel about the ethical consequences of rash decisions.&lt;br&gt;Alice is a medical student haunted by injuries she intentionally inflicted on her brother when she was 12; gorgeous-looking Margaret turns heads wherever she goes; Ji Sun is a hugely wealthy Korean who in her final year accuses a professor of sexual harassment while Lainey is intent on a life of political activism.&lt;br&gt;Over the course of their lives, Ames keeps adjusting the lens on the relationships through a series of moral dilemmas that affect how each of them sees the other.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Yet while she writes confidently and insightfully about the complexities of female friendship, her tack is emotional rather than philosophical, while her novel feels both schematic and frustratingly wayward.&lt;br&gt;</div></td><td class='diff-marker'>+</td><td style="color:black;
