How well can you ever know another person?
 
Happy with each other, Reginald and Sylvia think they just want the quiet life. They have more than enough money and their own country house. But when success overtakes them, and the draw of the city, they find parts of themselves they never knew. Where does their happiness really lie? 
 
Reminiscent of Evelyn Waugh, this wry, intimate examination of a relationship is a gem of 1930s literature.
 
A gentle, brilliantly thoughtful story for the ages.
