Description

"The greening of Mrs Donaldson - Mrs Donaldson is a conventional middle-class woman beached on the shores of widowhood after a marriage that had been much like many others: happy to begin with, then satisfactory and finally dull. But when she decides to take in two lodgers her mundane life becomes much more stimulating."--Back cover. "The shielding of Mrs Forbes"--Forbes is a disappointment to his mother who thinks that if he must have a wife, he should have done better. Though her own husband isn't all that satisfactory either.
