Summary

At a party in the Hollywood Hills, Stephen Monk finds his wife in the arms of another man. Betrayed and furious, he packs his belongings and returns to the home in which he was born. There he begins to retrace the steps that have brought him to this crisis. He is reminded of his own betrayals and weaknesses. The memory of his lost love, Elizabeth Rydal, haunts him. Can he forgive his wife, and, most importantly, himself?

Isherwood's poignant novel, set against the backdrop of war and exile, is encapsulated here by Adam Sims, with Lucy Scott as the voice of Elizabeth.
