Overview

As an anthropologist Stella Trentwood studied social networks - in the villages of the Nile Delta, Greece & Malta, & in the community of an Orkney Island. She has known love, but she remains alone by choice & chance. Now retired, she has decided to buy a home, to root herself in the Somerset landscape. Her retirement plans signify a new phase of stability, but Stella finds life in the West Country as subtle & elaborate a social system as any other she has encountered. She is absorbed by new & old relationships - Richard, the prosaic widower of an old college friend, whose baffling overtures take her by surprise, & with Judith, an archaeologist whose life is in flux. The hamlet that is now her home proves itself deceptive - an apparently tranquil backwater where tensions within a dysfunctional family build to a destructive climax
