Paul Rayment is on the threshold of a comfortable old age when a
calamitous cycling accident results in the amputation of a leg.
Humiliated, his body truncated, his life circumscribed, he turns
away from his friends. He hires a nurse named Marijana, with whom
he has a European childhood in common: hers in Croatia, his in
France. Tactfully and efficiently she ministers to his needs. But
his feelings for her, and for her handsome teenage son, are
complicated by the sudden arrival on his doorstep of the celebrated
Australian novelist Elizabeth Costello, who threatens to take over
the direction of his life and the affairs of his heart.
