About This Book

A solitary young tutor confesses to a woman companion that he may not be the anonymous nobody she assumed, prompting her to investigate a whispered family scandal. The revelation and subsequent inquiries expose doubts about a past marriage, questions of legitimacy and honour, and the strain between social secrecy and personal sympathy. Both characters wrestle with loneliness, the temptation to break confidences, and the desire for intimacy across class boundaries, while domestic scenes, music, and private reflection disclose conscience, character, and the social pressures that shape their choices.
