Quiet and obliging, John Bexley and Mary Fleming married to please their families. A month later, John was sent off on a two-year diplomatic mission. Now he’s back, and they find that everything they thought they knew about each other is wrong. It’s disconcerting, irritating and…somehow very exciting.
