==Plot==
Blaise Gavender is a psychotherapist with a wife and a sixteen-year-old son, living near London in a comfortable home called Hood House. Unknown to his wife Harriet, he has been having an affair with another woman, Emily McHugh, for nine years, and Blaise and Emily have an eight-year-old son named Luca. For years he has been putting off telling Harriet about Emily, but finally is forced to do so when Luca secretly visits Hood House and the truth threatens to come out. Blaise vacillates between the two women, hoping to be able to maintain relations with both, but eventually he chooses to leave Harriet and live with Emily.
Montague (Monty) Small, the Gavenders' neighbour and family friend, is a popular detective novelist whose wife Sophie has recently died. He knew about Blaise's affair and helped him by inventing a fictitious patient who required overnight visits to London, thus providing Blaise with an excuse to be away from home when visiting Emily. After Harriet finds out about the affair, the still grieving Monty is called upon to be her confidant as well. Monty's friend Edgar Demarnay, who was in love with Sophie, arrives on the scene and becomes embroiled in the situation, trying to "save" both Monty, whose grief threatens to cause an emotional breakdown, and Harriet, whose part he takes against Blaise.
