About the Book Henry and Joanne appear to be an ordinary, happily married couple in a sleepy university town, noted for propriety not scandal. But are they? Joanne comes to suspect that Henry is having an affair, maybe more than one, and this is corroborated by their neighbours and friends, Max and Carol. What is Henry actually up to? When the answer is finally revealed, the lives of all four characters take on a whole new complexity, and Henry ends up exposed to public embarrassment and ridicule. Interwoven with this story is a satirical sub-plot about academe and a maverick university professor facing dismissal for bizarre classroom behaviour and sexual misconduct. In a Spin is an intriguingly different and entertaining novel, rich in suspense and comedy. Beneath the surface, however, it is also a serious study of the limits of tolerance and the difficulty of knowing people fully.
