Married for decades and respected in her field, Yvonne finds herself unexpectedly drawn into a risky affair with a charismatic and enigmatic stranger. What begins as a thrilling escape from her predictable life spirals out of control, leading to a shocking and violent incident. The narrative alternates between Yvonne's courtroom trial and the unraveling events that led her there, exposing the hidden complexities of her character and the stark consequences of her choices. Themes of betrayal, power dynamics, and the fine line between control and vulnerability are deeply explored, keeping readers on edge as they piece together the truth of what transpired.

As the story progresses, Yvonne's carefully constructed life begins to crumble, and her secret world collides with her public one in ways she could never have foreseen. Doughty delves into the psychological impact of guilt, shame, and the lengths to which individuals will go to protect themselves. The courtroom scenes are particularly riveting, as they reveal not only the facts of the case but also the societal judgment Yvonne faces as a woman accused of impropriety and violence. With its compelling mix of psychological tension, legal drama, and social commentary, Apple Tree Yard is both a cautionary tale and a profound exploration of the darker corners of human desire and decision-making.
