But in fact it results from her bore- dom with life in London. Her passionless marriage to Alex Lamond takes her to the family estate on Vancouver Is- land where her life becomes a whirlwind of country club par- ties, horseback excursions and shopping sprees with her hus- band's energetic mother, his disillusioned, almost degener- ate sister Nona and his. twin brother George. She is constantly perplexed about her husband's attach- ment to his first wife, Dr. Mon- ica Cosgrave, a~ self-assured, independent and arresting per- sonality.
