Set against the backdrop of 1950s English society, the narrative follows a young woman named Victoria as she becomes the assistant to the blind, elderly writer Laurence in a picturesque Italian seaside home. A passionate encounter with the charming Edgar complicates her life, especially when his envious mother, Lettice, schemes to make Victoria's return to England miserable. Blending dark humor with sharp social commentary, the story explores themes of jealousy, beauty, and the complexities of human relationships through its flawed yet captivating characters.
