註釋While celebrating her 10th wedding anniversary with her husband in Italy, British-born Averil Holloway learns that her ex-husband, an IRA terrorist serving a sixteen-year prison sentence, will soon be eligible for parole. The prospect terrifies her because he had vowed to seek revenge for her divorcing him. Meanwhile, touring the Abbey of Monte Cassino, Mark serendipitously meets the son of his college sweetheart who had broken off their courtship because of irreconcilable religious beliefs. The chance meeting causes Mark to confront conflicting desires: Forget about this meeting or contact Joan, who still lives in his hometown of St. Louis, and settle the unresolved issue of their traumatic break-up. The Holloways return home, but Mark, an airline pilot, finagles a temporary assignment in St. Louis and resumes his love affair with Joan. A tangled web of deceit, family crises, and a brutal attack buy Averil's former husband threaten the bond of Mark's and Averil's love in this tale of a modern marriage.
