In 1982, Shirley Hazzard flew to Britain for a reunion with Alec Vedeniapine, a man with whom she had been in love more than 30 years before.Vedeniapine and his wife farmed in Wales, and their world cats and cows; damp, rural isolation - couldn't have been more different from that of Hazzard, who lived with her husband, Francis Steegmuller, a biographer of Cocteau and Flaubert, on New York's Upper East Side in an apartment filled with paintings by Matisse and Picasso.
