The Aunt's Story by Patrick White

With the death of her mother, middle-aged Theodora Goodman contemplates the desert of her life. Freed from the trammels of convention she leaves Australia for a European tour and becomes involved with the residents of a small French hotel. But creating other peoples live, even in love and pity, can lead to madness.

Her ability to reconcile joy and sorrow is an unbearable torture to her. On the journey home, Theodore finds there is little to choose between the reality of illusion and the illusion of reality. She looks for peace, even if it is beyond the border of insanity.
