About this product
Product Information
'A very good vel indeed about the fragility and also the tenacity of love' commented the Spectator about this 1953 vel by Dorothy Whipple, which was igred fifty years ago because 'editors are going mad for action and passion' (as she was told by her publisher). But this last vel by a writer whose books had previously been bestsellers is outstandingly good by any standards. Apparently 'a fairly ordinary tale about the destruction of a happy marriage' (Nina Bawden in the Preface) yet 'it makes compulsive reading' in its description of an ordinary family ('Ellen was that unfashionable creature, a happy housewife') struck by disaster when the husband, in a moment of weak, mid-life vanity, runs off with a French girl.Dorothy Whipple is a superb stylist, with a calm intelligence in the tradition of Mrs Gaskell (both wrote in the Midlands and had similar preoccupations). 'The prose is simple, the psychology spot on' said the Telegraph , and John Sandoe Books commented: 'We have all delighted in this unjustly forgotten vel; it is well written and compelling'.
