Blaming is the second novel by the English writer, Elizabeth Taylor that I've read. Though I didn't like it quite as much as I did Mrs Palfrey at the Claremont, I still recommend it. While on holiday in Istanbul Amy's husband suddenly dies. Martha, a younger woman from the tour, kindly abandons her holiday to accompany Amy back to England. Once home, Martha continues the friendship which is not what the ungrateful Amy wants.
There is a line from near the end of the novel I particularly liked: "She talked mostly of painters who were dead, or people in books who were never alive."
