Somebody at a Distance by Dorothy Whipple

A sharply observed novel of the seduction of a married man by a conniving younger woman. The characters of the protagonists were well drawn, our sympathy stayed with the loyal wife and our hackles rose with the arrival of the seductive and very french woman bent on improving her life - and if the only way possible is another woman's husband, so be it. He too weak to resist. An interesting read.

Marks out of ten between 7 and 9. So highly marked in comparison to some.
