Description
Athena and Dexter live a happy but insular life, bound by routine and the care of their young sons. When Elizabeth, an old friend from Dexter's university days, turns up, she brings an enticing world to their doorstep and Athena finds herself straining at the confines of her life.?
This intimate and engaging short novel was first published in 1984. The Children's Bach is 'a jewel', in Ben Lerner's description, 'beautiful, lapidary, rare'.
