A Novel.
Panic is always lurking where you least expect it . . .
To say that Beverley is not a well woman would be the understatement of all time. A stroke has robbed her of speech, movement and the use of one eye.
Helpless to resist her physiotherapist's well-meaning intentions, she uses her enforced time in the hydrotherapy pool to spin outrageously comic interior stories of revenge and mayhem.
Longing for death but stuck with life, this latter-day Scheherazade holds on to sanity by imagining parallel realities. She hopes to create a story so perfect that she can escape into it entirely. The other women in the pool around her provide the inspiration for her stories, but Beverley is unable to keep her own memories from intruding into the narrative. Reality and fiction gallop towards a head-on collision . . .
