Loved this book by Canadian author Tim Findley. The husband is a very good looking actor 5 years younger than his artist set designer wife. They have a 8 year old son. The husband wants to further his career...at any cost. His wife is to the side watching, wondering, and waiting for...a handsome telephone repair man with the face of an angel. No, this is not a sleazy bodice ripper but a well written story about life, changes, and the choices people make.
