Beryl Bainbridge's 'Winter Garden' focuses on Douglas Ashburner, a seemingly reliable and respectable lawyer, married to his wife for twenty-six years. But Douglas is not quite as reliable, or as predictable as others might think, for he is having an extra-marital affair with the lovely Nina, a rather capricious artist who causes Douglas to suffer from a number of sleepless nights. When Nina asks Douglas to join her on a trip to Moscow, where she has been invited as a guest of the Soviet Artists' Union, Douglas agrees, but tells his wife he is going fishing in Scotland. However, no sooner has he made the decision to go, then Douglas almost wishes something would happen to prevent him going and when he arrives at the airport, having surrendered his luggage and all of fishing paraphernalia, and meets Nina's artist friends, Bernard and Enid, Douglas begins to wonder whether he is doing the right thing.
