Carla Tradescant has grown disenchanted with her husband Alan, a headmaster whose habits and preoccupation with school performance now irritate her more than they reassure her. The arrival of young English teacher Peter Barrett offers an escape from that frustration, and Carla begins an affair that threatens the stability of their lives. Meanwhile, Alan's own past brings a secret into the present, with consequences extending beyond the marriage. Caro Fraser explores desire, resentment and the damage caused by concealed truths in a novel where private choices spread through a small school community and change the people caught within it.
