The marriage of Deric and Diana Longden is a successful one, based on a shared sense of humour as well as love. It seems sure to survive even when Diana is struck down by a mysterious debilitating and, as it transpires, progressive illness. When Deric meets novelist Aileen Armitage matters become complicated, but not in predictable fashion.
