Waldo, a celebrated filmmaker, finds himself confined to his London apartment due to old age and ill health. He is cared for by his younger wife, Zee, who is loving and supportive. However, Waldo's suspicions arise when he believes that Zee is having an affair with Eddie, a close acquaintance of over thirty years. Driven by a desire to expose the couple and seek revenge, Waldo sets out to prove his suspicions correct.

It is a captivating and thought-provoking story that will leave readers pondering the complexities of human relationships and the power of revenge. This novella is a must-read for fans of Kureishi's work and anyone who appreciates a well-crafted and engaging narrative.
