What is The Prodigal Wife: A Novel about?

<p><P><b><i>&#8220;Deservedly compared to her countrywomen, Binchy and Pilcher, Willett is an equally gifted storyteller.&#8221;</i>&#8212;Booklist <P></b>In Marcia Willett&#8217;s latest novel, Jolyon, who had been abandoned by his mother, Maria, is living at the Keep with his father and his stepmother Fliss. Now that Jolyon is a successful television presenter of gardening programs, the recently widowed Maria, lonely and impressed by her son&#8217;s fame, reappears and hopes to step back into his life. But Jolyon finds it difficult to trust his mother and forgive the hurt she had inflicted on him.</p><h3>Publishers Weekly</h3><p>In this gentle, charming novel of indiscretion, grudges, love and mortality, two middle-aged couples reunite late in life following long separation and marriages to others. As the children of these first marriages fall in love, they draw everyone together again, including a couple of trouble-making ex-spouses. With so much deferred love-involving infidelity, divorce, traumatized kids, wasted years, and more-there is much to be emotional about, and the latest from British novelist Willett (The Way We Were) is chiefly engaged in rehashing these feelings end
