Not That Sort of Girl
Finalist for Sunday Express Book of the Year: A moving and sensual story of secrets, sacrifice, and enduring love from bestselling author Mary Wesley
At eighteen, Rose falls passionately, irreversibly in love with Mylo Cooper. Although he proposes moments after they meet, the penniless Frenchman isn’t a suitable husband for Rose. Trading love for security, Rose weds Ned Peel. She becomes mistress of Ned’s grand country house and promises never to leave him. But Mylo is never far from her thoughts or heart.
Set against the backdrop of World War II and beyond, Not That Sort of Girl dances between the past and the present to tell the story of a woman who flouts social convention and risks her marriage, family, and more to be with the man she loves.
