Summary: fidelity and psychology discovered
Review: MacDonald, in one of his best works, sympathetically explores the crushing pain of infidelity, along with the reasons it happens. As he so often does, he contrasts the short-term impulses of humanity with the principled, long-term dignity that we all want to achieve. His perspective is exemplary of the great detective fiction writer (although this isn't detective fiction), and this is his most focused exploration of the near vs. the far.
