Nikki gemmell's concluding instalment is a modern day version of lady chatterley's lover, set in notting hill, involving a banker's wife and the gardener of a local communal garden. It begins by describing with scorching honesty and delicious cheekiness a couple in the thick of marriage, people who still fancy each other rotten and how they find a way of keeping the sex aflame amid the demands of work, family and life and yet this wife, safe within her marriage, is bursting with unfulfilled desire. Unfulfilled, that is, until the communal gardener enters and their affair accelerates to its tense, shuddering conclusion.
