About this title: Kate Brown, aged 45, leaves her home and her self-sacrificing, passive life there. She spends the summer as a translator of Portuguese, traveling to Turkey and Spain and having an affair with a younger man. When she returns to London, she is able to accept her aging, her husband's affairs, and the fact that she is no longer essential to her children.
