A lesson in love

A group of women in their 30's and 40's is enrolled as mature age students in an English course at University. Rose has never been married and is completely against the idea of having affairs with married men, more out of a sense of loyalty to other women than any great moral issue. Her two closest friends are both involved with married men and are determined to break up the marriages and marry their lovers.Despite her earlier feelings about affairs with married men, Rose falls desperately in love with her tutor, Paul a pompous, predatory academic who enjoys having the devoted attention of his female students as well as the security of his wife...in fact the whole of the faculty and students seems to be sexually involved, within the cloistered atmosphere of the University. Carol Clewlow is a very fine writer and obviously knows exactly just how elating and devastating an affair can be.
