About This Book

The novel follows a young woman whose husband returns home physically paralyzed after wartime service; isolated at their country estate, she struggles with emotional and sexual alienation and with the gulf between intellectual companionship and bodily intimacy. Seeking fulfillment, she develops a passionate relationship with a working man on the estate, an affair that confronts class boundaries, industrial modernity, and conventions of marriage. The narrative alternates social observation and intimate scenes to examine desire, the healing power of touch and nature, and the tensions between mind, body, and social expectation.
