Description

Poet Jane Gray, whose husband has left her shortly before the birth of their second child, falls passionately in love with James, the husband of Lucy -- Jane's cousin and her friend. Their adulterous affair remains secret until a tragic accident exposes it to the world and they have to face the consequences. The Waterfall is a powerful novel about sexual awakening and obsession -- and the violent conflicts of maternal and sexual love.
