A disquieting and moving novel exploring the taboo of extra marital sex in pregnancy.
The eighth month of pregnancy proves difficult for Susan. Her remote and unhappy father has committed suicide, and Susan is now haunted by the ghost of him as a boy. Emotionally immature herself, Susan has drifted most of her life, detached from those around her. Shocked out of her detachment by her father's death, Susan begins an affair with a sexually enticing artist while her husband, supportive and loving, does his best to understand a wife who seems interested only in withdrawing from him.
