Description:

In the decade of sexual opportunity, Avril Brett decided not to break the rules. After seven years of loyalty to her unfaithful husband Hugh, she is rewarded for her virtue with a picturesque country cottage, a meaningless secretarial job and a desperate longing to become a mother. Faced by the unsettling revelation that her own father is about to marry a much younger woman, Avril realises it is time she lived for herself. Clarity and movement are restored to Avril's still life when she starts a passionate affair with a long-time friend and work colleague. To her shock and delight, she discovers there will be something more lasting to their passing intimacy than expensive dinners and late-night guilt. 'Having a baby was another kind of love affair', somebody once told her. With every day her child grows, so Avril's new-found confidence leads her into another kind of world - exciting, challenging and thrillingly unconventional.
