George Lampeter certainly isn't looking for a wife but as soon as the forty-three-year-old submarine commander sets eyes on Thea, twenty years his junior, he's found his partner for life. Just about everyone knows of George's long-standing affair with Felicity Mainwaring, the intimidating wife of a naval colleague. Her husband's death the previous year had prompted many to speculate that George would end up marrying his formidable mistress. No one expected it more than Felicity herself and as her letters and calls to George go unanswered she becomes suspicious. He somehow manages to duck Felicity's attempts to contact him long enough to marry Thea, and the couple embark on a harmonious life together in the heart of rural Devon. Thea enjoys matrimony immensely and through the naval network, finds a soul mate in Polly, another youthful bride, but not with such an understanding husband. But everything changes for Thea and George when she mentions that an old friend of his had dropped in for a chat while he was in London - Felicity Mainwaring

5.0 out of 5 stars
Same book as "A Friend of the Family",
By Philippians4:13 (Paxton, MA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Thea's Parrot (Paperback)
As always, Marcia Willett's book is a cozy read with wonderful characters, and it evokes a great sense of place. Be aware though, that this is the original title of the book released in the U.S. as "A Friend of the Family." I don't know why publishers change the titles when they publish books in other countries; people like me end up with duplicate books under different titles! Maddening!
