Synopsis
(extracts from the jacket of the Hamish Hamilton edition)
Katherine Mullen faces a commonplace tragedy. After twenty years of marriage her husband leaves her for a younger woman and she must try to construct a new life for herself and her two teenage children.
...In Kate Mullen, Susan Barrett has created a woman of our times - someone honest and self-critical, open to experience, but loyal to her own sense of morality.

From the Author
After this novel was published, we moved to a house within walking distance of a real-life Beacon. The house was weirdly similar to one I had in my mind's eye. However, I'm glad to say that I'm still happily married to the man I married in 1960; which is another way of saying that The Beacon does not relate, in its main theme, to my own life.
