Betrayal (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780822201090)

The end is just the beginning. Presented in reverse chronological order, Harold Pinter's magnetic masterpiece focuses on the affair between Emma (who is married to Robert) and Jerry (who is best friends with Robert).

Jerry is a literary agent; Emma runs an art gallery; Robert is a publisher. Emma and Robert are married and Jerry is Robert's best friend, but Emma and Jerry have had a seven-year affair. The play opens with Emma and Jerry meeting for lunch in 1977, two years after the affair has finished and, by a brilliant device, the relationship of the three is traced backwards nine years to the evening when it all began.
