‘KATHLEEN ROWNTREE IS AT HER BEST IN THIS ELEGANT COMEDY’ (The Daily Telegraph) To Mrs Parminter, elderly and living alone, Mr Brightly is a handsome man of taste and sensibility who finds time in his busy life to visit her on his evening off. To his wife, Ginny, Dick is a good provider whose clever business deals promise her the lifestyle she aspires to. For Cressida, struggling to look after her disabled son, Richard is a knight in shining armour. And Nanette, whose personal services he once bought, now pays Ricki for his financial wizardry. But then the new-broom vicar discovers that there is more to the respected Mr Brightly than has so far been revealed to his admirers – and their lives will never be quite the same again. ‘A WRITER WITH AN UNUSUALLY SHARP EYE, AND A PARTICULAR EAR FOR THE UNDERTONES AND DISHARMONIES THAT DISTURB LIFE IN A SMALL COMMUNITY’ (The Times) ‘AN AMUSING, INTERESTING AND ASTUTE NOVEL’ (The Sunday Times)
