'In the weeks that followed Jane did her best not to think about anything very much. Usually it worked. But every so often she would freeze and tremble at the terrifying realisation that she wanted to leave her husband.' While many regard her marriage with admiration and a touch of envy Jane Lytton quietly reaches the shocking conclusion that her relationship with Michael a successful banker with little time for her - or the nitty-gritty of family life - is failing. Even daring to contemplate leaving Michael is daunting. With no obvious outward signs of any marital problems family and friends greet news of the predicament with a mixture of anger and uncomprehending sympathy. Forced to accept that she is alone Jane takes drastic steps that veer her life off course. When at last her vision clears to reveal the best chance of happiness it looks as if she may have left it too late. Being with the wrong man does not make finding the 'right' one any easier.
