Jenny has devoted her life to her husband, the famous naturalist
Wilkie Walker. But this year, as winter comes on, Wilkie seems
distant and depressed. In desperation Jenny persuades him to visit
Key West, but the sun and tropical scenery do nothing to cheer him
up. As he grows even stranger, Jenny becomes involved with some
intriguing local characters including Gerry, an ex-beatnik poet,
and Lee, the dramatically attractive manager of a women-only guest
house. Wife, secretary, confidante, housekeeper - might Jenny at
last break free from her role as Wilkie's support act? WITH A NEW
PREFACE FROM ALISON LURIE 'Full of sparkish - indeed Muriel
