From Publishers Weekly
The witty English author of Wise Virgin follows the lives and tangled romantic affairs of three women who once shared a London flat in the '60s. This is "a tale with all the untidy quirkiness of life," PW observed, "a performance that has Wilson's expected civilized skill, along with an unanticipated depth and poignancy."

Love may be unknown, but sex and marriage are not, in the lives of Monica, Belinda, and Richeldis. The three women roomed together one year in their salad days and remain devoted friends ever after. Monica moves on to Paris and a life of elegant if isolated idleness; Belinda marries, often; and Richeldis settles into the role of ideal wife and mother. Now, some years on, a chance meeting precipitates them into unexpected relationships: rival, confidante, betrayer. Other characters from their youth also raise problems. Richeldis's mother, cared for by her brother-in-law, a dotty former priest, crosses the line from eccentric to mad just at the moment her husband's wanderings reach a crucial point. Told in a smooth and stylish manner, this is a charming study of friendships and other pairings, ironic and insightful, with all the added fun of marvelous settings in London and Paris.
