A Desirable Husband, first published in 1987, was the third novel
by the prodigiously gifted Frances Vernon (1963-91). Finola Molloy
- first introduced to readers as the daughter of the bohemian Alice
in Vernon's acclaimed debutPrivileged Children (1982) - has grown
up and married Gerard Parnell, barrister and heir to a Derbyshire
estate. They are living happily in London with two small children
when Gerard, quite unexpectedly, comes into his inheritance. And
yet this gracious living - however fortunate it initially appears -
will prove to be unexpectedly challenging to both partners in the
marriage. 'Frances Vernon is an absolute wonder.' Sunday Mirror
'Subtle hints of Barbara Pym or Ivy Compton-Burnett.' The Lady
General
