A sensitively written novel charting a love triangle, when an errant husband has an affair with a younger woman. This may sound rather hackneyed, but Merritt deftly explores the consequences for Greg, his wife, his daughter and his lover, Sally. Over the course of almost two years there are hesitations and indecisions affecting the four of them. It is to the author’s credit that, as often in life, there is no easy resolution to the circumstances and that the outcome remains in the balance until the very end. In a moving book, Merritt invokes sympathy for all involved and engenders understanding for their actions. ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse
Sally McGinley is a struggling young playwright who has watched her friends achieve success in film and theatre while she is reduced to working for community arts centres and the odd commission for radio. Greg Burns, 44, is a fading actor - television success in a vet drama six years ago is a distant memory, and his twelve-year relationship with Caroline and his daughter has hit hard and frustrating times. When Sally is commissioned to write a new play for a top West End director and Greg is cast as the male lead, both of them seize the opportunity to enhance their professional lives. They begin an affair which at first seems just the kind of reckless, sexual adventure they'd craved; until Sally announces she is pregnant and they are both forced to make decisions that catapult them into a realisation of just what life entails.
