Review:
"A witty, chatty book" * The Times * "Second Fiddle will delight the healthily growing number of Mary Wesley enthusiasts and offer a delicious treat to those who have yet to discover this unique author" * Punch * "She writes like an avenging angel, with a freshness, vigour and zest for sex (but never for sleaze) that belie her years. The lovely Miss Wesley has a steel-tipped talent" * Sunday Telegraph *

Book Description Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Wesley, Mary. Second fiddle. First edition. London: Macmillan, 1988. Hardback, VG in unclipped dustjacket with minor shelfwear and a small tear at to front leading edge. Blue cloth with gilt lettering to spine. Binding strong and tight. 184pp. Edge of page block slightly tanned; contents clean and bright. Mary Wesley was the pen name of Mary Aline Siepmann CBE (24 June 1912 30 December 2002), an English novelist. During her career, she was one of Britain's most successful novelists, selling three million copies of her books, including ten bestsellers in the last twenty years of her life. Her take on life reveals a sharp and critical eye which neatly dissects the idiosyncrasies of genteel England with humour, compassion and irony, detailing in particular sexual and emotional values. Her style has been described as "arsenic without the old lace". Others have described it as "Jane Austen plus sex", a description Wesley herself thought ridiculous. RightWayUp Books aims to provide accurate and detailed descriptions. All images are of the actual book for sale - no stock images are ever used. Thank you for looking at this listing.
