* Merrion Palmer has been Judge Guy Stockdale's mistress for the last seven years and his wife and two grown-up sons know absolutely nothing about her. Up until now, Guy and Merrion have enjoyed a blissfully, uncomplicated relationship in stolen moments in Merrion's flat, and to the rest of the world, Guy has played the part of model husband, father and grandfather.

But now the time has come for things to change. Guy has become conscious of wasted years and he wants to share his relationship with Merrion with the world.

He wants, dammit, to marry her. Yet he is quite unprepared for the storm that will follow ...

Reviews for Marrying The Mistress: an irresistible and gripping romantic drama from one of Britain’s best loved authors, Joanna Trolloper

A family is thrown into turmoil by the announcement of 62-year-old judge Guy Stockdale, father and grandfather, that he is leaving Laura, his wife of 40 years to live with and eventually marry a barrister half his age. But faced with the loss of security and status, Laura resorts to jungle tactics. A not unfamiliar situation in real, as well as fictional, life. But it is Trollope's juxtaposing of high emotion with the mundane which gives depth and pathos to the big issues she tackles. It is in the family of the eldest son Simon that we see it most conspicuously: the endless minutiae of their daily lives - the never finished washing-up, picking-up, tidying-up, making and consuming of meals - that become a metaphor for their equally desperate attempts to control the chaos of their emotional lives. This is Trollope at her best, making us look all around a deadlocked predicament - which could so easily affect so many of us. (Kirkus UK)
