Synopsis

Veronica's group of friends are well-to-do professionals, intent on keeping up a charade of well-being and success. On the surface everything is fine: Julian and Veronica get married; Teddy tells good jokes; Gloria chases men.



Trouble brews, however, when the sinister Katherine Vermont becomes obsessed with the deceitful activities of her ex-lover, Julian. The tragedy that finally erupts shows the high price that can be paid for emotional dishonesty - to oneself as well as to others.

Media Reviews
There is a peculiar pleasure to be had from reading about the ordinary things of life made extraordinary just by looking at them closely and reporting them exactly . . . What's refreshing here is the author's conspicuous sanity and her sharp line in defense of reason * Robert Nye, Guardian *
