Özet

Henry Tillotson, a generous, genial man, rescues Margaret from a disastrous marriage in Egypt and brings her home to the West Country as his new wife. On the threshold she gives him a black eye and retires straight to bed where she remains, apart from the occasional malevolent outburst, for the rest of her life.

Over the years, two young couples become regular if uneasy houseguests, listening, speculating, keeping a watchful eye on Margaret’s door until finally, piecing together the gossip, the rumours and the mystery, they find themselves tangled in the web of Henry’s life.

I love Mary Wesley especially when read by Anna Massey. It's an escape back into the not too distant past. A very easy listen with interesting characters.

a relaxing listen

This is just what you would hope for, and expect from Mary Wesley. Every character is fleshed out and explained fully. The story is set post World War II and centres around the lovelife of Henry Tillotson and Cotteshaw, the house and farm he owns. I was pleased that Calypso is also part of the story, having loved her from the Camomile Lawn.

Every character has a story

Really good book, well written and hood plot. Keeps you guessing to the end even if the truth not spelt out

A winding story over several generation’s

Mary Wesley has no time for those of delicatel sensibilities, she's acerbic and mordantly funny, and her characters are frequently horrid to each other. Her books are sort of Aga sagas for cynics. Most enjoyable.

Anna Massey is a good reader too - very expressive and the voices of different characters can be easily distinguish.

Not for the sentimental

Utterly brilliant. Charming and beautifully drawn characters. One to listen to time and time again.

Delightful story
