A lonely woman, a librarian aborbed in her research, is suddenly offered the promise of untried happiness, the chance to share in the life of a glittering couple, and through them in the joys and pleasures that she has been denied. The hope of love, the promise of companionship, however prove to be illusory there is no happiness there for her to share, no way out of the life that she has led until then. This tale of hope and disappointment is told with classic simplicity, brutal delicacy and heartbreaking wit.
