1. All Passion Spent
"All Passion Spent" follows the story of Lady Slane, an elderly woman who, after the death of her controlling husband, decides to defy her children's expectations by renting a small house in Hampstead where she reflects on her past and embraces her newfound freedom. Throughout the novel, Lady Slane explores her suppressed desires and the roads not taken, forging new relationships and rediscovering her own identity, which had been long overshadowed by her roles as a wife and mother. The book delves into themes of self-discovery, the reclamation of one's life in old age, and the societal expectations placed on women.
