 A wonderful book for the feeling level of people living life December 16, 2000
13 out of 14 found this review helpful
What was living through the Second World War like? Mary Wesley takes us through the relationships and experiences of young people caught up in the 'great events' but here we get the personal, feeling aspects. Told with subtle humor and acceptance of the human condition. A fine and original master of the English language as practiced by an older woman writer who can look back on the whole of life and know what it all comes down to. This she does well as a kind of female philosopher of feeling, nothing like the thinking males tend to do. This will warm your heart and ask you gently, just how are you doing with your life?
A wonderful book June 10, 2008

This is truly a wonderful book that I have read on several occasions.
Mary Wesley is a fabulous writer.
One of my favourite books December 24, 2008

I first read this book back in the 90s when the TV adaption was on (I missed the later episodes and wanted to find out what happened).
This utterly got me hooked on Mary Wesley books and it contains all her important themes -
sexual freedom
liberal politics
wit
loneliness of the outsider
enduring love
good food
The characters jump off the page with elegance, but it's Mary Wesley's brisk,no-nonsense style that drives the whole thing.
I would definitely recommend this - along with Not That Sort of Girl, which is arguably slightly better and would make a great film
One of her best book! September 21, 1999

This novel, which was made into a TV miniseries in the early 1990s, incorporates many themes and elements of plot which reappear in other Mary Wesley novels: unconventional relationships, heroines with names derived from ancient mythology, twins and cousins, motherhood, love arriving late in life, and the life-changing experience of living through the Second World War on the home front. It's a quick and easy read, involving but not too taxing, with plot developments which may occasionally strain credulity but characters who are fully-fleshed, unconventional and ready to seize whatever opportunities their lives bring.
