Passionate, erotic, honest, funny and also supremely sad... superbly edited by Wesley's biographer Patrick Marnham
Nicholas Shakespeare, Spectator
a lovely, entertaining and moving book
Sara Wheeler, Literary Review
It seems extraordinary that Mary Wesley had to wait until she was in her seventies to become an acclaimed author. These letters, written to her lover Eric Siepmann, and edited by her biographer Patrick Marnham, show that she was already a brilliant writer in her thirties
Lynn Barber, Sunday Times
Highly readable
Ysenda Maxtone Graham, Daily Mail
Her letters are cheerful, resilient and funny, full of sharply observed vignettes of her life in Devon.
Jane Shilling, The Oldie
A fascinating insight into the world of Mary Wesley and the scenarios that inspired her famous novels
The Lady, a Book of the Week
