Isabel was able to remember the precise moment when she tried to kill her husband. Strangely enough, she couldn't recollect why. Thus begins the powerful tale of beautiful Isabel-a successful young executive who at age 27 is the head of a publishing house, a woman of taste and discernment, endowed with enviable wit and a razor-sharp mind. Yet, as the novel opens, we know that Isabel is in great trouble, with an attempted murder on her conscience. Elegantly yet sparely written, hers is a tale of seduction, vertiginous love, and colossal betrayal. When Isabel meets James-a highly talented writer known for his heavy drinking, laziness, and the outrageous habit of taking advantage of every woman he meets-she falls head over heels for him, despite all her friends' dire warnings. Breaking his past pattern, however, James also falls for Isabel, and they decide to marry. However improbable a couple, they confound their family and friends, becoming an ideal match, as much in love with each other as they are devoted to their son. The question is: What happens to drive Isabel to her act of insanity?
