An Innocent Diversion

'Kathleen Rowntree is a writer with an unusually sharp eye, and a particular ear for the undertones and disharmonies that disturb life in a small community' - THE TIMES 'Sparkling...a delightful social comedy with undertones of real pain' - COSMOPOLITAN Sonia is the model of an ex-wife: smart, confident, determinedly happy. The odd tricky day afflicts her, of course; but then she has her little diversions to fall back on. Fran - wife, mother, rearer of chickens, cleaner-up of household dirt (her own self-description) is haunted by the past and snatches time to write her poetry. Two unconnected and disparate women. Until Sonia drives into the back of a young man's car - and meets Jason. Engaging and handsome, he provides the link between Sonia and Fran. He is also, privately, in search of something. Lover? Mother? Or prey?
