Lindsay withstands the pressure b~t gradually after a cc;mple of years. 1t is too much for hts pleasure-lovmg young wife. She returns to her 'family and ~ants to get a divorce. The rest of the book rather degenerates in interest, there are some decidedly futile characters drifting in and out of both their lives. But their young dream was the point 'to the book and its struggles with the sordid elements which are against all dreams. When that shatters the author seems to lose her grip. Their later coming together for one night is sordid and futile.
