About this listen

For the whole of Rose's respectable married life, she had kept faith with two men. To Ned she was a perfect wife, mother of his son, and elegant hostess of Slepe. To Mylo, Rose was an impetuous and unconventional mistress, answering his erratic and impassionate calls throughout 50 years of tactful duplicity. After Ned's funeral Rose looks back on a life of dual constancy, passion, humour, and the ambiguities of love - and chooses her future.

Beautifully observed, I really cared about the outcome.

Perfect narration by Anna Massey.

ALMOST as good as my all time favourtie; A part of the Furniture.

Brilliant - one of my Mary Wesley favourites!

She has the ability to lock you in to her main character and certainly does this with Rose, took a while to get used to Anna Massey but got there and thoroughly enjoyable

Another great story from Mary Wesley

Always wanted to name my son, Milo, because of this book. I just love the story - the garden, the dogs, everything. Have read & listened over & over again.

Favourite Mary Wesley!
