✦ Synopsis

β€˜It struck me that already I was adjusting my life to take in this stranger. I looked at the dark, well-balanced outline of his head and shoulders with antagonism and fear. It was so strange to think of adjusting things to suit someone else. I was used to being independent and pleasing only myself.’

Nevis Falconer, a young, sophisticated novelist, meets and marries Simon Quinn. She comes to realise that her passionate marriage is stifling her creative talent, and finds herself increasingly distracted and disillusioned with her writing. Then one day in London she meets Marcus Chard, her American publisher, and everything changes.
