WITH AN INTRODUCTION BY JOANNA LUMLEY When the great statesman Lord Slane
dies, everyone assumes his dutiful wife will slowly fade away, the paying
guest of each of her six children. But Lady Slane surprises everyone by
escaping to a rented house in Hampstead where she revels in her new
freedom, revives youthful ambitions and gathers some very unsuitable
companions. Irreverent, entertaining and insightful, this is a tale of the
unexpected joys of growing older.
