Willa, a polite and respectable young woman, lives in a little Edinburgh flat with her baby and mother-in-law. Her husband, Tommy, a navy officer, is away over a year-long world cruise with the Special Service Squadron. Struggling to handle the tedium and oppression of life without him, Willa's only escape is through the books she reads. Through regular visits to the library she meets a man with a mutual fascination, Richard Fitzwilliam. Richard, a charming and intelligent young writer, can be an exciting recent addition to Willa's life. Frequent letters from Tommy neglect to evoke the emotion that she now feels for Richard. As their relationship blossoms, Willa must endeavor to keep her new love a secret. Beautifully written and emotionally charged, After You've Gone is a remarkable account of a woman torn between a husband and another man in 1920s society.
