A family is thrown into turmoil by the announcement of 62-year-old judge Guy Stockdale, father and grandfather, that he is leaving Laura, his wife of 40 years to live with and eventually marry a barrister half his age. But faced with the loss of security and status, Laura resorts to jungle tactics. A not unfamiliar situation in real, as well as fictional, life. But it is Trollope's juxtaposing of high emotion with the mundane which gives depth and pathos to the big issues she tackles. It is in the family of the eldest son Simon that we see it most conspicuously: the endless minutiae of their daily lives - the never finished washing-up, picking-up, tidying-up, making and consuming of meals - that become a metaphor for their equally desperate attempts to control the chaos of their emotional lives. This is Trollope at her best, making us look all around a deadlocked predicament - which could so easily affect so many of us.
