Sonia is the model of an ex-wife: smart, confident, determinedly happy. The odd tricky day afflicts her, of course; but then she has her little diversions to fall back on. Fran - wife, mother, rearer of chickens, cleaner-up of household dirt (her own self-description) - is haunted by the past.
Two unconnected and disparate women - until Sonia drives into the back of a young man's car . . . and meets Jason. Jason, the unlikely link between the two women, is engaging and handsome; he is also, privately, in search of something. Lover? Mother? Or prey?
Dark, witty and suspenseful, this is a novel of considered brilliance.
