A striking novel of truth and soul-searching. Returning from a visit to her
daughter in Iraq, Joan Scudamore finds herself unexpectedly alone and stranded
in an isolated rest house by flooding of the railway tracks. Looking back over
the years, Joan painfully re-examines her attitudes, relationships and actions
and becomes increasingly uneasy about the person who is revealed to her...
Famous for her ingenious crime books and plays, Agatha Christie also wrote about
crimes of the heart, six bittersweet and very personal novels, as compelling and
memorable as the best of her work.
