The Wife
After her husband wins the Nobel Prize for Literature, Joan Castleman reflects on her life from when she first met him and embarked on the affair which would change the course of their lives.
Successful writer Joe Castleman is delighted to receive an early morning telephone call from Sweden informing him that he has won this year's Nobel Prize for Literature. His steadfast wife Joan is equally delighted, but as she prepares to travel to Stockholm to support and encourage her husband, she reflects on her life from when she first met Joe, her married literature tutor with whom she embarks on the affair which would change the course of their lives.
