A Much Married Man

As Anthony Anscombe surveys Winchford Priory, his beautiful Elizabethan house in Oxfordshire, he has the distinct feeling that he’s under siege. He may be surrounded by his sprawling estate, but lurking in the village are more than one or two reminders of a complicated past.

His first wife was the hauntingly beautiful girl he married impulsively.
Amanda was never going to live up to her role as a country wife, so why does she still cast such a long shadow in Anthony’s life?
Sandra, the second wife, came to Anthony’s rescue. Sturdy, dependable and domesticated, Sandra had plans to turn the Priory into a proper family home, until that summer when it all went horribly wrong.
And then there’s Dita. Smart, tough, rapaciously social and high-maintenance, Dita storms through Anthony’s life, organising and rearranging, particularly when it comes to the previous Mrs Anscombes and their children.
This wickedly funny and sophisticated novel of the tribulations of modern marriages comes from the bestselling author of Godchildren, Nicholas Coleridge.
