Book Overview
She was a thin, lonely child with huge eyes and an extensive vocabulary of French foul language. Amongst the elegant middle-class British families holidaying in Dinard in 1926--leading their privileged lives of secure routine pleasures--Flora was a ten-year-old misfit. Ignored by her self-absorbed parents, unloved, and pitied by the pleasant, stylish people in Brittany that summer, Flora was--peripherally--included in their gracious circles. And there, meeting kindly civilised people for the first time, she fell in love--with Cosmo--with Hubert--with Feix. It took forty years for the love affairs to be explored, consummated and finally resolved. From the Trade Paperback edition.

Amazing
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 22 years ago
Amazing. Very sexy and exciting but not explicit and gratuitous. We meet Flora as a young lonely girl of ten on vacation with her selfish, neglectful parents. We follow her life as she matures to a beautiful woman. Three men love her but which does she love and which one will she choose. This is one book hard to put down.

Not to say wesley has austen's genius, but one reads her with the same sense of delight.This is an extremely sexy book, but without the extreme explicitness of romance novels, which I always think ruins it.Wonderful light reading.
read all her books!

I am currently reading all of Mary Wesley's books, they are addictive. She creates excellent, sympathetic characters, sets them in interesting situations, and makes the plot move along, without resorting to caricatures or unbelievable coincidences. Plus, she knows how to write GOOD.
