Awaiting her husband's arrival on holiday in France, Sheila Redden, quiet, middle-aged doctor's wife, suddenly finds herself caught up in a passionate affair with a young American, ten years her junior. At her urging, her husband stays home, but soon becomes suspicious. When he arrives in the resort in Southern France to confront her, his brutal manner convinces Sheila to reclaim her own life. This extraordinary powerful portrayal of a woman transformed by love was shortlisted for the Booker Prize.
