Description
Mary Wesley published her first novel at seventy and went on to write a further nine novels, including the acclaimed The Camomile Lawn. Her stories were often inspired by her experiences during the Blitz and her marriages, including a brief affair with an aristocrat and a long-term relationship with a penniless writer she adored. A fascinating and well-researched biography, Patrick Marnham's book offers a balanced and insightful look at the life of this remarkable woman, separating fact from fiction and exploring the connections between her real life and her writing.
