A moving story of family relationships If you take a devoted wife and mother and push her out of her cosy home in Australia into a whole series of crises and new situations in England, don't expect her to be unmarked by it. If this trusting wife then finds out about her husband's philandering, you can expect big changes to occur-especially when she realizes he's just had an affair with her best friend. And if all this happens at a time when she is winning acclaim as an embroidery artist and has just come into an inheritance that will give her financial independence, then the outcome of the trip may not he quite what her manipulative husband had bargained for.
