The character sketches in this novel are fabulous. Lively draws a picture of each character in such a way that it seems you are reading about people you might know.
The plot goes basically like this: Man finds picture of his deceased wife that might mean she had an affair. Man seeks to discover his wife's true character using the approach of the historian he is.
The plot is a slow moving one. There are no car chases or real excitement and dialogue is minimal. The approach is an interesting one, as each layer of the story is told through conversations and relationships with people who knew the deceased wife.
The moral of the story will certainly make you consider how well you know those around you. Is he capable of this, Did she really go through that, etc etc etc.
