Free Love by Tessa Hadley

3.0

An interesting story about the 1960’s movement to sexual exploration and changes in political and social views. Phyllis who paints the picture of a perfect housewife decides after having a young houseguest to dinner and an impromptu kiss to leave her family and life style to become his lover. The story follows the struggle of her children, her much younger lover, her husband, his past discretions and a change in the world through the 60’s sexual revolution.
I found the story to be over descriptive at times and dragging at points …….I was pleasantly surprised with the twist . Overall it was a good read just not for me a great read. That being said I would still recommend it to a friend or book club. It would be a great book to discuss.
I received a free copy from NetGalley, all opinions are my own
