A Village Affair is a 1989 romance novel by English author Joanna Trollope.
[3] "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.
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."
