The Reckoning

Résumé du livre

Clare and Mark Bainbury, married for four years, are gradually becoming aware
that life may not turn out exactly as they might like. Mark's career is not as lucrative
as he had hoped and Clare's growing obsession for a child creates a distance
between them that neither is certain how to breach.

When Mark meets glamorous starlet Diane Derry, Clare retreats even further from their
marriage. Increasingly it seems that they love which once consumed them both may
not be strong enough to survive these troubled times.
