Two decades of marriage to older Max has seen a busy, contented Prue through the stresses of the resentful stepdaughter and motherhood. Now, Violet has returned with her new husband from NY and, suddenly, Prue is precipitated into a secret life. The small village of Hampshire and metropolis are incredibly different places and, as Prue moves between the two, she traces the boundaries between innocence and difficult knowledge, between the gluttony and surrender of desire and the stark realities that result. Pinpointing the battleground of the present day - and second - marriage, the author offers a blisteringly truthful and tenderly observed picture of the extraordinary bargains and accommodations that are struck between people who love each other. "Modern marriage and its own compromises ...a terrific, compassionate, compelling novel" - "Daily Mail". "Adultery ...handled carefully and moral intelligence. Just what a good writer Buchan is" - "Daily Telegraph". "A robust story; wise, observant, deeply felt, with elements all women will recognise with a smile - or a shudder. Very strongly suggested" - "Good Book Guide".
