Free Love by Tessa Hadley

Amid the social upheaval of late-1960s London, a seemingly content suburban wife and mother is jolted by an impulsive kiss from a younger man, setting off an affair that draws her into the bohemian freedoms of the city. As she pursues desire and self-reinvention, the husband and children she leaves behind struggle with betrayal and the shifting ground of family life. The story explores the exhilaration and cost of personal liberation against a society on the cusp of change.
