Caroline Grimstone, a rising anthropologist's young wife, is bored with life in their provincial university town. Has she no purpose other than to chat with her eccentric neighbors about hedgehogs and fashion? Caro escapes her tedium at a rest home, where she reads to the elderly - and purloins an important manuscript for her husband's sake. The theft sparks academic rivalry among petty sociologists all struggling to prove the obvious - and an amorous tryst that leaves Caro cold. --Book jacket.
