Three lonely people come together in this poignant and witty novel of thwarted dreams, scandalous secrets, and star-crossed romance
After being jilted by her fiance, Dulcie Mainwaring despairs of ever finding true love. For a distraction, she goes to a publishing conference, where she meets Viola Dace, a dramatic woman who refuses to live without romance, as well as Aylwin Forbes, an editor whom Viola adores. The fact that Aylwin is married doesn t stop Viola. When her amorous pursuit prompts Aylwin s wife to leave him, the academic heartthrob is wide open to Viola s romantic attentions. That is, until Dulcie s eighteen-year-old niece moves in with Viola, and the young girl soon catches Aylwin s roving eye.Set in London in the early 1960s, No Fond Return of Love is a delightful comedy of manners that comes full circle as Dulcie discovers a love as unexpected as it is liberating."
