But the deceptively gentle Lady Slane has other ideas. First she defies the patronizing meddling of her children and escapes to a rented house in Hampstead. There, to her offspring's utter amazement, she revels in her new freedom, recalls her youthful ambitions, and gathers some very unsuitable companions--who reveal to her just how much she had sacrificed under the pressure of others' expectations.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eVITA SACKVILLE-WEST (1892-1962) was a writer and poet born in England to aristocratic parents.
