Carol enjoys her life as wife to the political editor of a newspaper and step-mum to his three daughters. But an anonymous phone call making shocking allegations about her husband puts paid to her settled existence, and Carol is forced to ask herself some uncomfortable questions about her marriage. Did he want a wife - or a nanny? And what is his involvement now with a woman the caller says was his mistress before his first wife died? When Carol gets the chance to be the cook to a field expedition to Brunei, she decides to take three months out to test her marriage - and herself. Far from home, she becomes an independent, assertive woman. But complications develop that threaten to destroy her marriage and Carol has to decide whether to stay with the old life or start again as a new woman.
