The freshest and most poignant observer of human foibles and heroic
hearts since Anita Brookner, Mary Wesley and Alice Thomas Ellis.
When Lydia sees Simon late at night driving down Westbourne Grove
her suspicions are aroused. Simon, a TV film director, lives in
Hammersmith with his wife Flora and their three children, what need
has he for the dubious attractions of Bayswater? The attraction is
Gillian, an accountant, whom Simon met at a dinner party while
Flora and the children were away in la douce France. Flora
struggles with her re-found Christian faith, though Anglican now
rather than Roman Catholic, as Simon falls into a hopelessly
passionate and sexual affair that brings its own burden and guilt.
The smart world of middle-class West London is depicted with savage
wit and a needle-sharp intelligence that will remind readers of the
novels of Muriel Spark.
