A. L. Barker's engrossing novel looks at the life of a
middle-aged storyteller, her fictional world and the individuals
who inhabit it. Characters such as Mrs McSweeny and her husband
Murdo who receive hallucinatory information about the Second
Coming; or Elinor Dunphy, an elegant older woman visited by a
beautiful and free-spirited young man who makes veiled sexual
overtures to her; or Lalla, a divorcee, who falls in love with her
son's form-master, only to learn that his apparent advances to her
are just a cover for his passion for her son.
These humorous yet tragic vignettes are all concerned with
unfulfilled and usually perverted sexual relations - but how do
they relate to the narrator's own successful marriage?
