Her husband spends his weeknights in town; their daughter, eighteen-year-old Angela, is at Oxford; and their sons are at boarding school. When Angela finds herself unexpectedly pregnant, Ruth realizes that she has to do everything in her power to stop her daughter from sleepwalking into a life like her own. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e First published in 1958, Daddy's Gone A-Hunting shocked critics with its \"feminine rage\" (New York Times).
