If you drive through the Lady's Mile, the most fashionable district in London, you will see people whose most distinguished ambition was to be known in that circle. A novelist, a painter, and some aristocrats, willing to prove themselves to the world. But what happens behind closed doors? Is the Lady's Mile as respectable as it seems? - Summary by Stav Nisser.

Technically, it's a happy ending...

(2,5 Sterne)

...but somehow everyone just seems pretty depressed by the time this book grinds, sloooowly , to a finish. Part of the effect is due to the narration. Both main narrators tend toward the mechanical and monotone, and both of them have issues with incorrect pronunciation in English. ( I don't speak French, so I can't judge that.) I imagine the extra effort the listener needs to put in to figure out what's being said can make the book seem much longer.

Thank you for reading this book. Cecil should have organized a Ladies Afternoon Book Club or even had a couple of children. That would have helped her find fulfillment in her life so she didn’t have to consider being unfaithful to her husband. He did love her in his own way, and she did take an oath before God, to love him and be faithful to him. joyfuljoyful@hotmail.com
