The Grey House is the final piece in the jigsaw of Alice Jordan's perfect life. It seems to be the ultimate achievement of her outwardly happy marriage - a loyal, if dull husband, three children, two cars and now the house. So why does she feel as if something is missing?

As Alice and her family settle themselves into village life the something missing becomes something huge and then breaks, scandalizing the village, opening up old wounds. But because of it, Alice begins to feel that there is hope and humour and understanding and compassion in the new life she must build for herself.

Industry Reviews

"An elegantly crafted dissection of English rural life among the well-heeled and privileged... A considerable achievement." - Woman's Journal

"A story of seduction - not only sexual seduction but the irresistible appeal of money, beautiful objects, charming manners... excellent." - The Sunday Times

"A richly textured and immensely readable novel." - The Sunday Times

"Despite a tendency to stereotype, to recount offstage climactic moments instead of directly depicting them, and to quote George Eliot excessively, Trollope has abundant talents. Her spare, pithy style and resonant dialogue contribute to an absorbing story in which a woman learns to eschew conventions and embrace independence." - Publishers Weekly
