Within the aftermath of any acrimonious divorce, young Maisie Farange discovers herself shuttled back and forth between her father and mother and their new spouses, all of whom are monstrously self-involved. Neglected and exploited by everyone around her, Maisie herself becomes a pretext for sexual intrigue when her stepparents become attracted to one another. As Maisie opens her young eyes on this distinctly modern world, the loss of life of her years as a child provides Henry Adam with a vehicle for scathing communal satire.
