Janet Burroway’s critically acclaimed novel, which the New
Yorker hailed as “enormously enjoyable” and Newsweek called
“a novel of rare and lustrous quality,” is the story of a
woman whose unraveling marriage sends her on a personal
odyssey halfway around the world to Japan Virginia Marbalestier has come a long way from the
California trailer park where she grew up. Now a designer at
the textile firm where her husband is the number-two
executive, as the mother of a young daughter and the
mistress of an English Tudor manor, she has it all. But her
husband, Oliver, is becoming increasingly elitist and
controlling, resentful of her friendships, and rough in bed.
The arrival of a new employee, a distressed young woman in
whom Virginia finds the missing threads of her own identity,
and the firm’s possible merger with a Japanese competitor
heighten the tensions between Virginia and Oliver, and impel
Virginia to set off on a foreign adventure that will change
her life forever
