No coin nor oath required. For personal study only.
Isolation and boredom can do strange things to people. After years and years of too much time on her hands, lonely housewife Margaret Tuckerβs mundane routine becomes smattered with odd behaviour.
Her husband, Bernard, is cold and distant. Spending most of his time in London with only infrequent visits back to the marital home, Margaret knows nothing about her husbandβs other life and has been all but discarded by the man she once loved.
When Margaret starts losing periods of time and cannot recall her actions she knows things have got to change. But just as she is beginning to rediscover herself, her husbandβs mysterious life once again collides with hers . . .
