This frank, intense account of a love-affair and its mystical aftermath is set in a suburb of London, and told with the intimate informality of the first person.
The story tells of the strange and callous steps taken by a middle-aged writer to destroy - or perhaps to reclaim - the mistress who unaccountably left him eighteen months before.
