"Sheer perfection." âElin Hilderbrand

But beneath this idyllic surface, the pressure of being the âperfect flowerâof an illustrious familyâand a stable, always-available wife, mother, and daughterâare getting to her. The spark has gone out of her marriage, and to her own surprise, sheâs having an affair. What follows is at once cathartic and provoking, and both may be necessary states in order for Polly to become the kind of person she wants to be.
