A beautifully written examination of a marriage and a wife's decision to leave her author husband. Although the "twist" at the end is apparent early on, knowing that didn't detract from my enjoyment of the book. This might also be a good book-club book, leading to an in-depth discussion about ethics and how far one should go to help one's mate. Recommended.
