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.

Another great read by Mary Wesley well-performed by Anna Massey. Interesting tale about society and people during wwII. But the best thing was following the heroine from adolescence to old age. Very much enjoyed her character and story.

Funny, sad, exciting and romantic

What a lovely story. A lovely mix of nuanced characters, despicable characters, very likeable main character Rose, scandalous suggestions and gratifying ending. My only criticism is that it drags on a little…. But only a little ! Another satisfying diversion by Mary Wesley.

Lovely story if a little slow
