Synopsis

When respected literary biographer Mark Lamming sets off for Dorset to research the life of Gilbert Strong, an opinionated man of letters, he has no idea that his own life is to change beyond measure. Happily married to stylish and sophisticated Diana, Mark nevertheless manages to fall in love with Strong's granddaughter Carrie, a young, unworldly woman. As the summer of Mark's obsession edges toward autumn, he begins to understand that nothing is as it had seemed: not Gilbert Strong and certainly not himself.
