SUGAR MOTHER by Elizabeth Jolley

In SUGAR MOTHER, middle-aged Australian OB/GYN Cecilia Page leaves for a year-long fellowship abroad. Her husband, English professor Edwin decides not to accompany her in spite of the fact that she “asked repeatedly” that he join her. This is not the first occasion of separation; Cecilia enjoys travel and hotel rooms, but Edwin does not. He prefers his “pleasantly shabby” home, along with his routine and no expectation of surprises. While Edwin and Cecilia, a childless couple, appear to be the epitome of conservatism, even they have their mad moments.
