A Change in the Lighting: Amy Witting (engl.) 291 S.

Amy Witting returns to the theme of 'marriage' in this her third novel.

Ella, a woman in her early fifties must face up to many issues when her husband suddenly leaves her for a much younger woman. Ella discovers that her life has been ruled by 'facades' and outworn conventions and that she has not confronted the reality of her relationship with both husband and children. Protected, she has 'seen no evil, heard no evil and spoken no evil'. Alone she must learn about the 'separate worlds' of the others in her family and the wider realities of life outside the confining house which has been her protection for so long. As well she must come to terms with the 'evil' within herself.
