Produktinformationen zu „The View from Here (ePub)“
A woman in crisis remembers a summer of hedonism that changed her life, in this novel about being "caught between the wiles of youth and the wisdom of age" (Booklist).
When Frances was twenty-two, she was drifting, scraping by giving English lessons in Mexico, when she met up with a glamorous group of vacationing Americans staying in a mansion on a private beach. Two decades later in rural England, she is settled into married life. Then she discovers a love letter from a younger woman addressed to her husband-almost at the same time that she learns that she's facing a life-threatening illness.
As her contented existence begins to unravel and she tries to decide whether to confront her husband about his infidelity, Frances finds herself haunted by the memory of her heady desert encounter with the charmed circle of the Severance family. That summer in 1976 seemed, until now, like another lifetime. As she recalls this long buried episode from her past, she is forced to face for the first time her own role in an illicit romance-and the betrayal and tragedy that marked its ending.
