Short novella (about 48 pages). As the title implies, it\'s the story of a wife betrayed by her husband, although the first few pages, which are the musings of the narrator (the daughter) on the issue of the stigma attached to children of a murderer might lead you to believe otherwise. It reminded me of a Gainsborough film - something like ‘The Man in Grey’, although the husband isn’t brutal, just weak-willed. I wasn’t terribly keen on it - I felt they all needed a good slap!
