Editorial Reviews
From Publishers Weekly
A self-indulgent English professor goes to London for a year's sabbatical, severely straining his marriage as his wife is left to care for their children and manage her own career as a documentary filmmaker. "This epistolary novel depicting a modern marriage succeeds in holding the reader's interest," declared PW .
