À propos de la quatrième de couverture

A beautiful woman in her early thirties, Mary Lavery, née Dunne lives in New York and is happily married to a much fêted British playwright. But before this there have been other lives, two previous husbands, and a Catholic girlhood willed with suppressed passion. A brief encounter with an old friend brings back a sudden flood of memories from the past – memories which confuse and disturb …

Female desire and sexuality, and the elusive nature of identity are brilliantly explored in this novel which glimmers with insight and truth.

“An extraordinary piece of feminine characterisation.”
SUNDAY TIMES

“I can think of no other living male novelist who writes about women with such sympathy and understanding.”
TIMES LITERARY SUPPLEMENT

“As complex and satisfying as anything Moore has yet done.”
