About This Book

A first-person narrator recounts his involvement with a married couple in fashionable society, where seasonal migrations between resorts frame a delicate triangle of flirtation, rivalry, and intimacy. Social rituals—rides, golf, dinners, and club evenings—reveal simmering jealousies, financial anxieties, and small humiliations beneath polite conversation. Episodes set in Aiken, Palm Beach and other resorts expose how duty, desire, and appearances govern behavior, while wry observation and understated tension chart the characters' attempts to preserve reputations and personal yearnings.
