Part of the Furniture

Summary: An excellent read.
Review: It is so nice to read a wonderful romance novel without all the hot detailed sex scenes that American authors seem unable to write without. The was my first Wesley novel -- but it won't be my last.

Summary: World War II Fairy Tale
Review: The only negative thing anyone can say about Mary Wesley's novels is that there are so few of them! Not one of England's most prolific authors, Wesley is nonetheless one of its most unique writers. Each novel is a gem! (Harnessing Peacocks is my all-time favorite.) This bittersweet fairy tale concerns the intrepid Juno, who, betrayed by her girlhood heroes (a pair of beastly cousins off to fight WWII) in the worst way imaginable for a young, impressionable woman, goes on to survive and prosper, surrounded by love and affection. A triumph of the human spirit, it's a May-December romance readers will hold dear to their hearts.

Summary: Charming, clever, witty, and slight
Review: This is one of those charming, clever, and witty English novels that writers -- especially women -- have been turning out since the days of Jane Austen. A lonely 17 year old girl caught up in the blitz meets a man who dies. She searches out his family home and finds contentment and love. The cast consists of mildly eccentric country types in a World War II setting. But the novel didn't teach or tell me anything of value. It's just a story.
