Andrew is a beloved and respected local doctor, his wife is a schoolteacher. If there is any discontent somewhere inside, they suppress it. But Andrew's father unexpectedly arrives to visit, having found a new love, an exotic and confident American woman. This event seems to shatter the family's fragile balance, which is not easy to restore.
Joanna Trollope, a distant relative of the famous English novelist Anthony Trollope, writes two different genres of novels: descriptions of modern English middle-class life and romantic historical books.
She is extremely sensitive to the little things that make up everyday life, and conveys the hidden passions, disappointments and joys of a seemingly calm and boring life. Trollope's heroes are not superhuman, nor are they among the rich and beautiful of this world. However, their problems are probably familiar to every modern person.
