An artist is invited by his girlfriend to visit her parents in the
provinces and, failing to get on with her father, duly finds
himself being inveigled into inviting her mother to his London
studio where, to his shame, he allows himself to be seduced by her
whilst apparently teaching her to meditate. Thereafter things go
from bad to worse for Matthew Pearce, not to mention his
girlfriend's mother, whose tetchy and ailing husband has discovered
what he believes to be concrete evidence of her infidelity. Yet
Deirdre Evans is determined to capitalize on Matthew's previous
hospitality, just as the latter is having serious doubts not only
about her but, thanks in part to their affair, about his
relationship with her daughter, Gwendolyn, as well Then, one
evening, a female acquaintance of Gwen's turns up at his place and,
before long, she precipitates him into a new and more passionate
affair - in fact, the kind of affair he had been hoping for all
along So now it seems he can dispense with both Gwen and her mother
and take up with Linda instead - provided, however, that she can
secure a divorce from her husband on grounds of incompatibility.
For Linda Daniels is also a married woman, and, like Mrs Evans, the
man to whom she is married proves himself to be no friend of
Matthew Pearce Could that be the main motive for Pearce's
willingness, bordering on recklessness, to enter into affairs with
both women? The reader is left to decide this and so much else for
himself in what is, by any accounts, an ironic commentary on human
relationships and their social and ideological interactions
