Two haunting novellas, published under one title, tell the stories of two disparate women, one introverted, trapped in a loveless marriage, the other extroverted who knows all about the business side of love - both escape reality by taking refuge in the world of romantic fiction. Trevor insists that when writing them he had no plan to connect them, they just seemed to belong together. He's quoted as saying: "Most things in art of any kind happen by accident, and this is a case in point." A very happy accident for his fans.
