Playing host to Alex's winter visit is Harry, Rachel's ex - tutor and respected mentor, who works out to have been involved in nearly every significant development of their relationship.

And then there are her university friends, Anthony and Cissy, who distributed to Rachel her taste for literature as well as for the illicit.
