Pp. 243, “Daniel Fielding, a quiet, middle-aged editor at a Toronto publishing house, has it all: a charming wife and daughter, the respect of his co-workers, a desirable house in a nice neighbourhood. If his job is becoming a little tedious, his boss increasingly overbearing, and his father-in-law occasionally judgemental, he still has the pleasures of a settled life and the love of his wife, Claire, to enjoy. What, then, drives him to succumb to the charms of Denise, a pretty, young colleague at a book fair overseas? Suddenly, a few stolen moments of passion explode into the sort of incomprehensible violence that we read about in the newspapers every day. Now Fielding must face an uncertain future and his own demons as he surveys the wreckage of lives and loves around him.” SIGNED by the author.
