From AudioFile:
Ashburner is off on an adventure. His conscience nags at him as he prepares to leave his wife, home, and dog for an intense two weeks with Nina, but he shrugs off the guilt and carries on. Michael Tudor Barnes is the ideal reader for this novel--his discreet narration allows the plot to be the center of the listener's attention as Ashburner's dalliance leads him on a tangled path. He tells his wife he is off on a fishing trip, but instead he boards a plane for Moscow with Nina, his unlikely mistress. (Even he cannot understand why he sought out her dark, animated beauty and why she might be interested in his heavy, aging mediocrity.) This novel grabs the listener's attention right away and holds it the entire way. L.B.F. © AudioFile 2002, Portland, Maine-- Copyright © AudioFile, Portland, Maine

Beryl Bainbridge's 'Winter Garden' focuses on Douglas Ashburner, a seemingly reliable and respectable lawyer, married to his wife for twenty-six years. But Douglas is not quite as reliable, or as predictable as others might think, for he is having an extra-marital affair with the lovely Nina, a rather capricious artist who causes Douglas to suffer from a number of sleepless nights. When Nina asks Douglas to join her on a trip to Moscow, where she has been invited as a guest of the Soviet Artists' Union, Douglas agrees, but tells his wife he is going fishing in Scotland. However, no sooner has he made the decision to go, then Douglas almost wishes something would happen to prevent him going and when he arrives at the airport, having surrendered his luggage and all of fishing paraphernalia, and meets Nina's artist friends, Bernard and Enid, Douglas begins to wonder whether he is doing the right thing.
