Mrs. Martin's Incomparable Adventure (2019)

At seventy-three and sixty-nine, Bertrice and Violetta find common cause against a thoroughly awful nephew. This short Victorian romance makes anger, mischief and attraction compatible with old age, instead of assigning its heroines the role of wise bystander. The revenge is gleefully exaggerated, the tenderness sincere, and intimacy is on page. Choose it when you want comic defiance rather than a delicate lesson about ageing gracefully.
