Without warning, it seemed, she had become a married woman.Naive and undemanding, Harriet Lytton expects very little of life and that is what she recieves. Married to a respectable man old enough to be her father, Harriets only taste of passion comes when she meets Jack Peckham, the unruly, attractive husband of her friend Tessa.Tessa and Harriet have for many years been bound together by their childhood friendship and the imposed alliance of their two daughters, Imogen and Lizzie. But events conspire to shatter the gentle rhythm of Harriets life. Tragically restrained by her own cautious choices, she faces the cruellest losses of all those of hope and desire.
