Irreverently funny and surprisingly moving, All Passion Spent is the story of a woman who discovers who she is just before it is too late.After the death of elder statesman Lord Slane-a former prime minister of Great Britain and viceroy of India-everyone assumes that his eighty-eight-year-old widow will slowly fade away in her grief, remaining as proper, decorative, and dutiful as she has been her entire married life. But the deceptively gentle Lady Slane has other ideas. First she defies the patronizing meddling of her children and escapes to a rented house in Hampstead. There, to her offsprings utter amazement, she revels in her new freedom, recalls her youthful ambitions, and gathers some very unsuitable companions-who reveal to her just how much she had sacrificed under the pressure of others expectations.
