Goodreads Librarians Group discussion

Rachel Billington has two different books. A Woman's Age (1979) and A Woman's Life (2002). They are separate works and the latter is not a new release of the former under a new name.

The synopsis for A Woman's Age is actually the synopsis of the newer book, and should instead be ‘Stepping into the world of country houses and nannies at the turn of the century, we follow the life of Violet Hesketh – from childhood, through two world wars, the roaring twenties, the depression, through years of social and political upheaval, to the fulfilment of her ambitions as a leading public figure and politician in the 1970s. As the lives of Violet, her daughter, her friends and lovers, interweave over 70 years, we see reflected in their ambitions and desires, their hopes and fears, the changing face of a nation.’ (taken straight from the author's website: http://www.rachelbillington.com/books... )

Likewise, the Other Editions section under A Woman's Age are mixed with the editions of A Woman's Life ( http://www.rachelbillington.com/books... ).

Separated the books and changed the description. Thanks for posting!

Thank you! :)
