The Georges' wife

the long version

Vera and Mr George have made a new life together but Vera's thoughts retuyrn again and again to loves and lovers, meetings and partings, the voices that echo in the mind like music. What has she learned from the well-bred peace of the Georges' household, the decadence and disorder of her firendship with Nöel and Felicity, the fun and vulgarity shared with her 'widow' on the long voyage to Australia? And must we always repeat the past?
