Rosalind's husband forces her to move from Australia to England due to his job with a multi-national company. However, he is called away to deal with a crisis in Singapore, leaving her to settle into a new country on her own.

One by one, her three grown-up children need help with major life problems, and there's only her to assist them, as Paul consistently prioritises his job. Then Rosalind discovers that her husband has been unfaithful for years, which serves as the final blow to their marriage, especially since she has met another man who is both attractive and kind.

Her confidence grows as she wins acclaim as an embroidery artist, and a newfound inheritance further boosts her independence. Will her loyalty keep her with her husband, as it has in the past, or will Paul receive more than he anticipated with the new, independent Rosalind?

Change of Season by Anna Jacobs presents a compelling exploration of personal growth, loyalty, and the complexities of familial ties.
