The moving story of a woman who finds the perfect balance between a passionate love and a steadfast marriageNed was tall, kind, and wealthy, the perfect man to marry - according to Rose's father. So Rose gave Ned her promise never to leave him, and she never did
Nearly fifty years later, the newly widowed Rose, thought by all to be "not the sort of girl" to stray from her "perfect" marriage, looks back on a life during which she kept faith with Ned - and with her lover, Mylo. This is her story of constancy, passion, humor, and delight - all the verities and ambiguities of love.
