Harry Denton is a middle-aged professor who leaves his secure post
at a London university on account of the sense of failure and
embarrassment caused by his wife Anne's mounting debts. An
inheritance left to him by his father enables him to start a new
life by buying a small hotel in the Scottish Borders. But in this
new context his marriage to Anne proves to be just as hopeless and
loveless. He escapes through flights of fancy, frequently
contemplating suicide, and becomes obsessed with one of his
guests-Eleanor. Although, ironically, she comes across as a pretty
simpleton married to an uncouth double-glazing salesman, she
expresses the thinking which, in time, will transform Denton's
life. The ruins of a twelfth-century Augustinian Abbey in the
Scottish Borders play a significant role in the initial evocation
of atmosphere, providing the fantasy of a 'time-gate' to the past.
