When Bill Mor falls in love with Rain Carter he discovers a new way of being.

Suddenly there is joy to be found in the world and his surroundings. To be with Rain he must abandon his prosaic life as a schoolmaster, his domineering wife Nan and his troubled teenaged children. He must draw on the powers of selfishness, hatred and anger in order to make the final break. But what love could survive all that violence?

'One of her most haunting works... She is spectacularly enigmatic' Philippa Gregory

'An absolutely scintillating, slightly bizarre page-turner' Daily Mail
