A rare story of a women truly in love her husband and partner in life. A man who had other girlfriends up until his 87th year and discussed them with his wife. Secure in her position with him, she was happy for him to have them - only golddiggers, nymphomaniacs and bores excepted. It is an inspiring love story for its apparent lack of anger or jealously on her part. No one made her laugh the way, he, Vyner did.

This review is from: Queen of the Headhunters (Hardcover)
Briefly, Sylvia Brooke loved her husband, Vyner. Vyner had many girlfriends and discussed them with her. The only one's she did not want near him were golddiggers, nymphomaniancs or bores. The rest she was happy enough with. None ever displaced her as a key woman and friend in his life. He romanced up to the age of 87, apparently. Judging by her account of their life together, there is an almost incredible lack of anger or jealously on her part. And an acceptance of the man he was. A majority of women would have opted to depart from him and pine away for every. She did not take that road. They loved and laughed together.For those who advocate more than one partner in life, such as those in the polyamory movement, there will be few life stories better than this to inspire them.This life story rings true and one would love to know more.
The Hon. Sylvia Lady Brooke came from the upper classes, economically or socially speaking. In human terms, also, she was a class apart and inspiring. There is, surely, a lesson here on how to deal with our need for human, emotional and sexual variety. This book is out of print. It should be reprinted.
