The London Wife (English Edition)

Maud Tree is the neglected, long suffering wife of the larger than life theatre manager Sir Herbert Beerbohm. An actress is in her own right, she manages not only an errant husband and wayward daughters but her own fragile career. Negotiating the prejudice that actors necessarily experienced in Edwardian England, the betrayal from those she loves most, the devastation post war of a country she loves, Maud emerges if not triumphant then a woman at peace with herself and her destiny.
