Description
Mary Alexander's debut novel tells the story of Penelope, a woman who defied convention and forged her own path in life. From her tumultuous marriage to poet John Betjeman to her adventures as a leading trekker in the Himalayas, Penelope's life is marked by a sense of restlessness and a desire for self-discovery.
As she reflects on her choices and the choices of those around her, Penelope grapples with the question of how one measures the success of a lifetime. With its vivid prose and nuanced characterization, this novel offers a compelling portrait of a woman who was ahead of her time.
Aged just eighteen, Penelope had already begun to forge her own path in life, rejecting traditional expectations and embracing her passions with courage and determination. This is the story of that remarkable young woman, and the extraordinary life she lived.
