Description

BY THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR

WITH A NEW INTRODUCTION BY CLARE CHAMBERS

'I'm a huge fan of Barbara Pym' RICHARD OSMAN

'My favourite writer... I pick up her books with joy, as though I were meeting an old, dear friend' JILLY COOPER

'The subtlest of her books... the sparkle on first acquaintance has been succeeded by the deeper brilliance of established art' PHILIP LARKIN

Wilmet Forsyth is well dressed, well looked after, suitably husbanded, good-looking and fairly young - but very bored. Her staid husband Rodney, a civil servant, is slightly balder and fatter than he once was. Wilmet would like to think she has changed rather less.

Her conventional life takes a turn when she meets the handsome brother of a close friend. Attractive, cultured and attentive, Piers Longridge is a delectable mystery Wilmet is determined to solve.
