This new collection of stories offersa candid peek at infidelity in all its guises. These are tales of lust,deceit,resentment and regret - and of the secrets and lies that canchip away at human relationships.In a series of interwovendramas,we find mothers yearning for adventure,for the exhilaration ofthe open road or the anonymity of the forest; fathers absent in body ormind; husbands who look the other way; complacency turned to spite andapathy turned to betrayal. At the same time Gunn pursues the gloriousrush of a snap decision,the liberty of answering that siren call of abetter life elsewhere.Written with Gunn's trademark attention to nuances of behaviour,motive and even landscape,Infidelity is a temptingly beautiful work that asks'What if'and dares to find out.
