Swimming in Circles

"Sharp as a knife and yet deeply compassionate, Fanny Frewen is an original spirit." THE TIMES Annie and her devoted husband, Charlie, have retired from the advertising business to their charming old house in a peaceful Littlefold village. Annie still keeps in touch with Peter Barker, a successful adman from the office, and when he comes to stay, she introduces him to Jenny, the quiet daughter of neighbours. After an unsatisfying first sexual experience, Jenny is ripe for falling in love with the fascinating Peter. With an unhappy home life and a sad mother showing greater and greater signs of instability, the love affair progresses. It is soon more serious than Annie and Charlie would have wished and tragedy lies ahead, in an unexpected form.
