Nikos Athanasou's third book to be published by Brandl and Schlesinger, following on from 'Hybrids' and 'The Greek Liar'. Since childhood Alice has been trained to give a cool assessment of her emotions. Now she is trapped, by her misreading of love in a marriage that stifles her emotions. The "person" of her husband is driven by a desire for power and control. Their drama and final tragedy plays out against a background of seemingly-simple Oxford village life where in the end Alice is forced to realise that love cannot be rationalised: it can only be felt.
