"Catastrophically ill-suited for each other, and forever straddling a line between relative calm and explosive confrontation, Neve and her husband Edwyn live together in London.

Drawing us into the battleground of this marriage, Gwendoline Riley tells a ... story of mistakes and misalliances, of helplessness and hostility, in which both husband and wife have played a part. Could this possibly be, nonetheless, a story of love?"--
