Rockland, Mass. : Compass Press, 2000.
Format: Large Print
Edition: Large print edition.
Description: 383 pages ; 24 cm
What happens when the esteemed head of a family -- a judge, no less -- announces he is leaving a forty-year marriage to marry his mistress? And what if that mistress is hardly classic "mistress material" -- but a spirited, accomplished young woman who is -- to his family's universal dismay -- immensely likeable?
Marrying the Mistress is quintessential Trollope with a new perspective: that of the men in the family. Here are sons who could envision themselves being tempted by their father's new bride; mothers who cling forever to primacy in their sons' affection; teenagers with insights clearer than their parents'. Joanna Trollope combines her trademark sensitivity with an unsentimental honesty that makes this book her most true to life ever.
