A stunning, contemporary story set against the clashing politics, passionate ideals, and shifting sexual roles of the early 1960s.

After her husband becomes violent, Frederica Potter flees with her young son to London. There, she secures a teaching position in an art school and finds herself surrounded by painters and poets with dreams of rebellion.

Then Frederica meets Jude Mason, the strange and charismatic author of a wildly controversial novel. When her husband files for divorce and Jude becomes the target of a high-profile court case, Frederica’s life threatens to spiral out of control.

‘Byatt is critical yet empathetic, universal yet specific, emotionally direct yet intellectually playful … A great, big sweep of a story.’ — Miami Herald
