Ruth Patchett has it all: a large, warty body, a standard suburban home, a couple of unruly children, a dog, a cat and a guinea pig. She also has Bobbo, her unfaithful accountant husband who resents her very existence. Bobbo wants, and is wanted by, romance novelist Mary Fisher, who lives in a lighthouse by the sea. When Bobo leaves Ruth for Mary, Ruth decides that Mary doesn't know the first thing about love, and she's gonna teach her.

Part 4

Her romance in tatters, Mary turns for help to lonely, well-meaning Catholic priest Father Ferguson. She is not to know that Ruth, having given Vista Rose over to Hopkins, has installed herself as the priest's atheist housekeeper Molly, who also introduces him to sex, convincing him that love does not exist so that the only comfort he gives Mary is cynical and carnal.
