| Summary: | "Arthur Middleton, rising forty-five and 'happily' married, becomes involved with Annabel, an eighteen-year-old girl brought along on family parties as a partner for his schoolboy son. Arthur's wife, in retaliation, puts their old friend Charles Addinsell up to the idea of taking the girl away from him. In the process she herself has a fling with Addinsell, and there is a merry seesaw of relations with a very neat shift at the end of it"--Jacket.
A sly exploration of the ways of middle-aged love in London today. It is a story told in straight dialogue, with the barest possible description.
