Meg Eliot is the wife of a successful barrister and with that comes
a lovely home in Westminster, cocktail parties and a round of
charity committees. She is the model wife and her life is one of
ease, contentment and privilege. All that changes though when she
is suddenly left widowed after a senseless tragedy. Totally alone
she is thrust into a struggle to reconstruct her life as she
realises that she doesn't really know who she is anymore or who she
is supposed to be. The Middle Age of Mrs Eliot follows Meg as she
tries to make sense of the realities of life, of living and
contemplates the future and its possibilites. What she finds is the
ability to survive and, also, the joys of new friendships, new
opportunities and perhaps even the idea of a new love. Described by
the Daily Telegraph as 'one of fiction's great female creatures',
Meg Eliot is a powerful heroine who inspired readers when she first
appeared in 1958.
