Reader reviews for The Weather in the Streets

From the publisher

In 1930s England, an encounter on a train leads to an illicit affair, in this novel of "spare, poetic prose" by the author of Invitation to the Waltz (Joyce Carol Oates).

Just ten years ago, Olivia Curtis attended her first dance. Now she is divorced and living with her cousin in London. When she gets a call notifying her that her father is gravely ill, she makes preparations to return to Tulverton, in the English countryside--and on the railway journey home, she runs into Rollo Spencer, her girlhood crush.

He and Olivia once shared a fleeting, magical moment on a moonlit terrace that she has never forgotten. Now, fate has thrown them together again, and in spite of the fact that Rollo is married, they embark on a clandestine affair.

The Weather in the Streets charts the tempestuous course of Olivia and Rollo's forbidden relationship, from the first throes of passion through the toll of their deception on Olivia as she confronts the harsh reality of being the other woman. A novel ahead of its time that touched on a variety of taboo subjects, it is an enduring classic by an author who "has always written brilliantly of women in love" (Margaret Drabble).
