First published in 1994, this is Dirk Bogarde's fifth novel.

Following on from his previous novel, Jericho, evoking the manifold themes and compelling rural French atmosphere of its predecessor, A Period of Adjustment tells the story of William Caldicott. His ruined marriage spurred him on to obey his estranged brother's letter, which asked him take a house in the south of France.

Upon discovering the tragic fate of his brother James, William, accompanied by his son, attempts to rebuild his life - only to find it be attacked from another, far too personal front. A moving portrait of loss, France, summer and all of life's dramas.
