About
Clare Charwell has just fled her sadistic husband in Ceylon and boarded a ship back to England. On the boat, she meets the charming Tony Croom, who falls madly in love with her. Though Clare's relationship with Tony is platonic, her husband has been secretly gathering “evidence” to accuse her of adultery.

Reviews
"A social satire of epic proportions and one that does not suffer by comparison with Thackeray's Vanity Fair...[A] comedy of manners, convincing both in its fidelity to life and as a work of art."
New York Times
"If Galsworthy devoted himself to writing prose, David Case devoted himself to reading it out loud…Case threw himself passionately into every part, playing women so convincingly that I remember checking the audiobook box once to remind myself of the narrator's gender…He and Galsworthy can both look back across the River Styx with a shared sense that theirs was a job well done."
