More about the book

Set during a sweltering summer at a secluded cottage, the story delves into the complexities of family dynamics and unrequited love. Pauline, busy editing a romance novel, is deeply concerned about her daughter Teresa's devotion to her husband Maurice, whose growing infatuation with another woman threatens their fragile happiness. As Pauline reflects on her own past and the destructive nature of possessive love, an unforeseen climax alters the family's relationships forever, leaving a lasting impact on both the characters and the reader.
