Description
In a briskly observed world of manners and longing, Lady Dolores—regal, sharp, and running the mysterious “Love Department”—takes on the private sorrows of lonely wives in Wimbledon. When a new protege is sent to learn her methods, the mission becomes more than an assignment: it reveals how love, loneliness, and social expectation collide behind closed doors. With William Trevor’s characteristic wit and humane precision, the story explores the fragile bargains people make for companionship, dignity, and hope. As the Love Department works its quiet miracles, the book asks what it truly means to be “cured” of heartbreak—and what it costs to keep appearances intact.
