Description
Betsy Canning's life feels curiously unfulfilling. Despite her comfortable existence and beautiful children, she can't shake the feeling that something is missing. Her marriage to Alec seems to be the source of her discontent, but as she considers divorce, she begins to see how it might affect those around her. As public opinion starts to weigh in on their decision, Betsy's carefully constructed world begins to unravel. The fragile fabric of family life and private desire are put under intense scrutiny, threatening not just her marriage, but the lives of those closest to her. In this nuanced exploration of modern relationships, Margaret Kennedy examines the complexities of love, family, and identity in a society where expectations can be both suffocating and overwhelming.
