Description
The marriage of Oliver and Lucy Crown was something to envy and a model for others. Oliver was a successful, wealthy businessman; Lucy was a beautiful, obedient wife and a tender-loving mother who left her job for the sake of the family. But to understand that their happy marriage was only an illusion required fifteen years—and just one fateful summer.
Oliver decides to hire a governess for his son Tony for the entire summer to help the boy recover from a severe illness he has recently suffered. A twenty-year-old student named Geoff takes the job—and along with him an unexpected love bursts into Lucy’s life.
And what is it— a wild flare of passion that burns out without leaving a trace? An unconscious rebellion of a woman suppressed by her husband’s self-satisfied authority? Or a tragedy of misunderstanding and resentment that this connection becomes for Tony, who accidentally learns about it?
