Trespass
Maggie Gifford is married to a man who adores her, but her life is turned on its head when she falls for a stranger named Grenville and their affair becomes more important to her than her real life. When she confides in her cousin Jake, things become even more complicated: Jake, it seems, has been in love with her for years. And when her young daughter arrives home for the summer and gets involved with Jake, the family troubles accelerate. All this takes place in the New England countryside--a setting as idyllic as the plot is tortured.
