After more than twenty years in London, Kate Flynn has abandoned
her career as an academic, rented her apartment in the city, and
moved back to live with her mother in the grand old house beside a
lake where she grew up. Bored and lonely, Kate meets a childhood
friend, David Roberts, at the opera. David is married, but Kate
finds herself falling for him against her better judgment.
At the same time, David's seventeen-year-old son is visiting Kate's
house in secret, attracted by her eccentricity, her wit, and her
shelves full of old books and music. Though she knows the risks,
Kate cannot quite resist either man. As both father and son set
about their parallel courtships, Tessa Hadley's intricate, graceful
novel discovers the anxieties of adulthood, and the hazards of
refusing to grow up.
