A quirky, warm novel of eccentric adventure from the bestselling author of A PLACE CALLED WINTER – ‘A huge treat’ Daily Mail
‘Patrick Gale is among the great, unsung English novelists. Think Austen, Hardy, Murdoch. Remarkable’ Independent
Domina Tey is a playwright, celebrated by friends, her husband, and the public alike, yet she fears losing her vital edge. Her solution: to leave her beautiful home in Bristol and seek adventure in a squalid West London bedsit, where she will live under an assumed name with only her typewriter for companionship. Once installed, however, she can’t resist meddling in the business of others, forgetting that blurring fact with fiction can be a dangerous game.

Patrick Gale is among the great, unsung English novelists. Think Austen, Hardy, Murdoch. Remarkable
Gale is a master at getting under the skins of his characters and revealing the undercurrents that drive apparently ordinary lives
Captivating. A novel that pleads to be read at a single sitting
A quick-thinking book by an author who has something to say
A huge treat
