The novel is about a spinster who is alcoholic and extremely lonely. I think she takes up with some man. It could be titled; The Lonely Life Of Judith Hearn. In all on-line literature sites I've tried, it comes up negative. It might have an English background or maybe Boston. Bob

It's called 'The Secret Passion of Judith Hearne', and it's by Brian Moore.

It was filmed as 'The Lonely Passion of Judith Hearne'.
