Elisabeth Leigh An Unsuitable Man

Annotation

Sally has devoted her life to being the perfect wife and mother. Until now. Married, with two almost-grown children, Sally is a pillar of her community fast approaching her forty-third birthday. Until her husband leaves her for another woman. Intelligent but overwhelmed by restriction of her class and age, hemmed in by the small wealthy town, suffocated by the expectations of her friends, Sally is desperate for a change. But when she renews her friendship with her daughter's ex-boyfriend, the last thing she expects to feel is passion. Sharp and witty, peppered with beautifully observed details of men's and women's fallacies, this is an astute and perceptive look beneath the veneer of so-called polite society.
