Description:

A historical fiction debut. “An old-fashioned story exploring first love, loyalty and loss―this diverting novel is pure pleasure” (The New York Times Book Review).

Under the heady influence of a springtime picnic and vague notions of obligation, young undertaker Wilfred Price blurts out a marriage proposal to a woman he barely knows. Much to his consternation, she says yes. As Wilfred attempts to extricate himself from the situation, his betrothed’s overbearing father presents further complications. And when Wilfred meets another woman he does wish to marry, a comedy of manners ensues. Set in rural Wales during the 1920s, Wendy Jones’s charming first novel is a deceptive, subtly humorous entrance to the mores and social conventions of a world gone by.

“Wilfred’s sentimental education is wrought so delightfully and affectionately.” ―Sunday Times

“This is a spryly told tale whose heart is an ample match for its more knowing qualities.” ―Daily Mail

“A comedy of errors in rural Wales evolves into a dark tale of family secrets in this very accomplished debut.” ―Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
