This is fiction not based on but inspired by the author's life. She has discerned some of the 'might have beens' in her own existence, following them into alluring and quite different paths. Varied and excellently written, it might strike some as being over fanciful and sometimes forced. However, social comment and psychological insight, in a style brief in words and rich in content, go together with the darker and more forbidding side of the human condition.
