A quirky, warm early novel of adventure in 1980s London, from the bestselling author of A PLACE CALLED WINTER and NOTES FROM AN EXHIBITION
The second, character-filled 1980s novel of London and quirky English eccentrics from the bestselling author of A PLACE CALLED WINTER
'A huge treat' Daily Mail
Domina Tey is a playwright, celebrated by friends, her husband, and the public alike, yet she fears losing her vital edge. Her solution: to leave her beautiful home in Bristol and seek adventure in a squalid, crumbling West London bedsit, where she will live under an assumed name with only her typewriter for companionship.
However, once installed, Domina just can't resist meddling in the business of others, forgetting that blurring fact with fiction can be a dangerous game...
'Patrick Gale is among the great, unsung English novelists. Think Austen, Hardy, Murdoch. Remarkable' Independent
