About the Author:
Mary Wesley was born near Windsor in 1912. Her education took her to the London School of Economics and during the War she worked in the War Office. She published her first novel (Jumping the Queue) at the age of seventy, and went on to write a further nine novels. Mary Wesley died in 2002.
From Publishers Weekly:
From a witty septuagenarian novelist of British upper-middle-class life (Harnessing Peacocks, The Camomile Lawn) comes this amusing story of a widow remembering her boring marriage and the man she really loved. The heroine is newly widowed Rose Peel who, at a tennis party when she was 18, fell for Mylo Cooper, tutor of French to her host's sons. We also meet the twins Emily and Nicholas Thornby who wander incestuously, cadging from their friends and returning material favors with sexual ones. Rose knows that her husband Ned had a lifelong affair with Emily and fathered her child, but she doesn't care: her body and spirit are Mylo's. Throughout World War II they meet and make love, sometimes in Rose's own house while Ned is away on military duty. This adds both to the licentiousness and the charm; it is a measure of the author's skill that the bond between Rose and Mylo is made not only believable but innocent. That happiness is in store for these two is inevitable. The novel was a finalist for a new British literary award, the Sunday Express Book of the Year.
