Title: Love was a jest
Description: Scharlie was pushed into marriage by her mother when she was only eighteen. For four years, her middle-aged husband restricted her social life - so much so that, within hours of her first escape, she had fallen passionately in love with handsome, suave, already engaged Hugh. After a series of disasters, Scharlie begins to rebuild her life.
