"Die schöne Witwe Evelyn Jarrold erfährt mit vierzig Jahren die Liebe ihres Lebens. Der wesentlich jüngere Miles Vane-Merrick reisst die reife Frau aus ihrem inhaltsleeren Alltag. Sie ist zu vollkommener Hingabe bereit. Miles hingegen weigert sich, sein ausgefülltes Leben aufzugeben. Da entschliesst sich Evelyn zur schmerzhaften Trennung - mit schwerwiegenden Folgen. Vita Sackville-Wests Roman löste bei seinem Erscheinen 1932 grosse Empörung aus, da die Autorin es wagte, ein tabuisiertes Thema aufzugreifen und den noch heute aktuellen Geschlechterkonflikt darzustellen. Vita Sackville-West (1892 - 1962) lebte mit ihrer Familie mehrere Jahre in Persien, bevor sie sich auf Sissinghurst Castle in Kent niederliess und dort den heute berühmten Garten gestaltete. Im Laufe ihres Lebens publizierte die Schriftstellerin, die unter anderem eng mit Virginia Woolf befreundet war, über fünfzig Bücher, darunter Garten- und Reiseliteratur, Biografien, aber auch Romane und Novellen."
