About this listen
Three lonely people come together in this poignant, witty novel of star-crossed romance from the New York Times best-selling author of Jane and Prudence.
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 18-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.

Hated the narration of this classic
This narrator taught me the lesson to always listen to a sample before purchasing a book, even a well loved classic. She has a way of dragging out the last words of sentences, that is so very annoying. Not sure what she is trying to do … sound sophisticated, perhaps? Sometimes she drops this affectation, but even then I found her narration almost unbearable. Perhaps other people would enjoy this version, listen to the sample and decide for yourself.
