	Amazon.co.uk: The Camomile Lawn: Books: Mary Wesley (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		Mary Wesley presents an extraordinarily vivid and lively picture of wartime London: the rationing, imaginatively circumvented; the fallen houses; the parties, the new-found comforts of sex, the desperate humour of survival - all of it evoked with warmth, clarity and stunning wit.
		I remember seeing Mary Wesley interviewed about 'The Camomile Lawn' and saying someone had told her it 'captured exactly how life was lived duing the 1940s'.
		Mary Wesley takes us through the relationships and experiences of young people caught up in the 'great events' but here we get the personal, feeling aspects.

	Mary, Mary, quite contrary - theage.com.au
		Mary Wesley defied literary convention by becoming a best-selling novelist at the age of 70, and social convention by writing explicitly about sex; her best known books, Jumping the Queue (1982), The Camomile Lawn (1984) and Harnessing Peacocks (1985), were successfully adapted for television.
		Wesley refused to make any concessions to the sort of harmless narrative that might be expected from someone of her age, and her books were explicit in their sexual content and language: "The young always think that they invented sex," she once observed, "and somehow hold full literary rights on the subject".
		Wesley always denied that her books were autobiographical, though her stories often featured a young female character resembling herself as a girl, one who feels herself to be a shy misfit in a hostile world.

	Guardian Unlimited Books \| News \| Obituary: Mary Wesley
		Mary Wesley, who has died aged 90, amazed the literary world by having her first novel published when she was 70, in 1983.
		A typical Wesley heroine is a young woman, damaged by parental dislike or neglect, who ties herself to a conventional man who does not understand her, only to find happiness later with an eccentric, tender lover, who values in her all the qualities no one else has recognised.
		Mary seemed to enjoy the war, as if it fused with her own need to fight against tyranny and the threat to individual freedom.

		That Willien Wesley, Mary Bosley and Tommy Jones induced Joseph "Joe" Bosley to add the names of Willien Wesley and Mary Bosley to his savings accounts by promising Joseph "Joe" Bosley they would care for Joseph "Joe" Bosley at his home versus being placed in a nursing home.
		That the relationship between Willien Wesley, Mary Bosley, Tommy Jones, and Joseph "Joe" Bosley was the sort of relationship that raises a legal or evidentiary presumption of invalidity of gifts.

		John Wesley received much of his early spiritual and academic training from his mother Susanna Wesley (below), who told him that he was "a brand plucked from the burning" and was to have a special vocation given by God when he grew up.
		While John Wesley, for the most part, did not technically allow women to preach ("exhort"), he did recognize and encourage women to be leaders in a variety of ways.
		In 1787, despite the objections of some of the male preachers, he officially authorized Sarah Mallet to preach, as long as she proclaimed the doctrines and adhered to the disciplines that all Methodist preachers were expected to accept.

	Amazon.ca: Dubious Legacy: Books (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		As usual, Wesley's picture of the British upper middle class is breezy and irreverent; the dialogue is witty and often astonishingly impertinent (one thinks that the English can be shockingly tactless); the plot is laced with irony; the characters--major and minor--are depicted with a master's deft hand.
		A Dubious Legacy is the second book written by Mary Wesley that I have read, and her writing entrances me. This book spans the period of 1944 through 1990 and focuses on the lives of the participants at what appears to be a straightforward dinner party.
		Mary Wesley also allows the reader to feel that they intimately know the characters by the end of the story.
