The Adulteress - Readings

Description

"Broken-hearted by his wife's infidelity, Nicholas leaves the comfortable life he has known in Dublin for a ramshackle house in rural Cavan. There, the house seems to speak to him, and he catches glimpses of a presence - a fragile lady in blue, a woman trapped in the memory of one regret." "June Fanning came to Cavan from England in 1941 with her Irish husband, the solid but unimaginative Robert. She knows she should be grateful for a release from her previous existence in wartime London but June is a stranger in a foreign land, an outsider. And then Robert leaves to fight in the war. Outside the house lies the orchard, trees ripe with blood red hearts, and on the other side of it is temptation." --Book Jacket.
