Overview
Catherine Oliphant writes for womenās magazines and lives comfortably with anthropologist Tom Mallowāalthough sheās starting to wonder if theyāll ever get married. Then Tom drops his bombshell: Heās leaving her for a nineteen-year-old student.

Though stunned by Tomās betrayal, Catherine quickly becomes fascinated by another anthropologist, Alaric Lydgate, a reclusive eccentric recently returned from Africa. As Catherine starts to weigh her options, she must figure out who she is and what she really wants.
