When the great statesman Lord Slane dies, everyone assumes his dutiful wife will slowly fade away, the paying guest of each of her six children. But Lady Slane surprises everyone by escaping to a rented house in Hampstead where she revels in her new freedom, revives youthful ambitions and gathers some very unsuitable companions. Irreverent, entertaining and insightful, this is a tale of the unexpected joys of growing older.
Condition
A good reading copy. There is some tanning to the page edges and prelims, and a neat previous owner's name to the ffep. The dustwrapper is a little creased and marked and has been price-clipped but is now within a protective sleeve.
