Cuckoo

Meer over het boek

Frances is on a fertility drug and sizing up the milkman. Charles is struggling between shocked disapproval and guilty desire for his own illegitimate daughter - a fifteen year old secret who arrives and takes over the nest. Their sterile and rule-ridden marriage (where even sex requires timetable and rule-book) begins to fall apart. In desperation, Frances flees to her feckless lover, Ned, and in trying to use him as a stud, finds she is used and abused herself. By then, the cuckoos - and the cuckolds - are really coming home to roost!
