About this title

From the Back Cover:

A WOMAN FOR ALL SEASONS

Rose Quinlan is the perfect wife and mother: or so she seems. Married to ambitious MP Ballard Quinlan, she has worldly comforts, supportive friends, attractive children, and an almost glamorous lifestyle. She is strong, modest, capable; she is also ripe for change – as is the post-war England of the 1950s where the story begins.

At the Festival of Britain, there is a sense of ecxcitement, of things-about-to-happen; for Rose too life will blossom – through love, through friendship, and through a confrontation with the ghosts of her childhood in Africa.

Magnificently evoking the vitality of the fifties and the sixties, this is a novel which provokes, entertains and enthralls.

'A colourful book – as compelling as a mid-morning gossip over the garden wall'
