Mary Wesley Ordine dei libri (cronologico)

In 1944 Henry Tillotson brings his new wife, Mararet, home to his farmhouse in the English countryside. Margaret is a strange, unpleasant woman, determined, it seems, to make Henry's life miserable. 'Poor Henry!' say his friends, as they visit at weekends and holidays. 'What an awful life he has!' But Henry is not at all the sad and disappointed man we might expect him to be. He manages to enjoy life, and indeed, has quite a lot of fun, one way and another ... Mary Wesley's story takes a sharp but light-hearted look at love, sex, and marriage - and the things people will do to get what they want

Londra, 1941. Juno, diciassette anni, accompagna alla stazione i due giovani che ha amato per gran parte della sua vita: Jonty e Francis, cugini e amici inseparabili, che l'hanno da sempre trattata come un soprammobile e che, prima di partire, con la gelida spietatezza della gioventù, non volendo andare al fronte vergini, un po' la forzano un po' la convincono a trascorrere una notte di sesso tutti insieme. Rimasta sola, si ritrova a vagare per Londra in una notte di bombardamenti. Viene soccorsa da Evelyn, un uomo dall'aspetto fragile, che con grande gentilezza le offre rifugio e, dopo aver sentito la sua storia, scrive una lettera al padre, invitandolo a ospitare la giovane Juno. Con un misto di spavalderia e infantilismo la ragazza decide di non raggiungere la madre, partita per il Canada con il nuovo marito, e di andare alla ricerca della famiglia di Evelyn, in Cornovaglia. Qui, trasformatasi in mozzo di stalla, contadina e dopo poco "piccolina" di casa, scoprirà un mondo nel quale non solo troverà pace, ma anche un luogo in cui non è più solo un soprammobile.
