Kate

Kate makes a life out of a bungalow facing the sea and a garden she tends, but the petty club life and her husband's restlessness wear the marriage thin until she begins to make scenes of jealousy over nothing. When she discovers his affair with a young hotel guest named Nan, she does not crumble — she gathers an energy he lacks and threatens a scandal. Her refusal to be merely the wronged wife is what forces the story's reckoning.
