Meld je aan bij LibraryThing om erachter te komen of je dit boek goed zult vinden. Op dit moment geen Discussie gesprekken over dit boek. Short on plot, dreary County town characters and an unconvincing effort in keeping them relevant to the narrative. Best avoided. A very engaging book that features a cast of characters simultaneously mysterious, intriguing and yet somewhat boring. However the deftness of skill in creating an interesting storyline about a rather commonplace idea is Wesley's strength. She takes the ordinary and infuses it with sparkle, wit and humour, while being neither saccharine nor sentimental. A superb book that leaves one pleasantly satisfied but not satiated. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

Britain's beloved bestselling author delivers "a droll comedy of manners" in a story of desire and dalliances in a provincial English town (Los Angeles Times). Laura Thornby is the kind of woman every man wants--despite their better judgment. Urbane, seductively aloof, and charmingly intrusive, she is the older woman every younger man dreams of bedding, if not wedding. When Claud Bannister meets Laura at a concert, he cannot get her out of his mind. And she cannot resist the chance to interfere in his life. As Laura begins molding Claud into a new man, from finding him a new place to live to orchestrating his attempts to become a novelist, her influence over him is undeniable. But his impact on her is underestimated. As the situation slowly spirals out of Laura's carefully constructed control, both of them will discover more about themselves--and their connection to each other--than they ever realized before. Crackling with wit, and sizzling with romance, this "mordantly humorous take on upper-middle-class British life has a sharp and entertaining edge" only Mary Wesley could hone (Publishers Weekly).
