Tony Webster and his clique first met Adrian Finn at school. Sex-hungry and book-hungry, they would navigate the girl-less sixth form together, trading in affectations, in-jokes, rumour and wit. Maybe Adrian was a little more serious than the others, certainly more intelligent, but they all swore to stay friends for life. Now Tony is retired. He`s had a career and a single marriage, a calm divorce. He`s certainly never tried to hurt anybody. Memory, though, is imperfect.

Nathaniel Hawthorne was an American novelist, a dark romantic, and short story writer. Set in seventeenth-century Massachusetts, Hawthorne`s The Scarlet Letter was originally subtitled "a romance," though its themes include the limits of law, the power of religion, and the nature of sin.
