An odd book, by a writer I am not sure I really like. About a love affair between a 19 year old chap and a 48 year old woman, set initially I think in the mid 1960’s.
They meet at a tennis match in middle class suburbia and somehow become lovers. She eventually leaves her boorish husband and they move in together, but she descends into alcoholism, he supports her but they eventually separate.
Full of rather portentous stuff about the meaning of love, but I think quite empty and pointless apart from that.
