Apartment in Ladbroke Grove, west London. 1952. When Hestar Kolier discovered by neighbors as a result of suicide attempts fail, the story of a chaotic affair with his former RAF pilot and the breakdown of her marriage to a judge of the Supreme Court began to appear. With it camePortrait keperluankesepian and long-suppressed passion. Beyond the fragile veneer of civility burned harsh war sense of loss and longing.
