Robert Jarvis dies from a heart attack, leaving his wife Margaret a widow at 42. Family and friends rally round, but their attentions only serve to stifle her, and her increasing suspicions that her marriage had not been as perfect as it had appeared to be make her long to get away from it all. Six months later she revisits Guernsey, the scene of her honeymoon 25 years earlier. There she meets and becomes attracted to the confident Philip Lefarge, but after a night of torrid passion Margaret is filled with guilt and indecision. Philip's self-assurance and commonsense force her to re-examine her life, and try to come to terms with the betrayal by those whom she trusted most. Facing the truth will determine her future life and happiness.
