PLEASURES 'Broke me, put me back together and made me cry. Just buy
this. You won't regret it' 5* READER REVIEW _______ 1955: In an
apartment on the Lower East Side, school teachers Dovie and Gillian
live as lodgers. Dancing behind closed curtains, mixing cocktails
for two, they guard their private lives fiercely. Until someone
guesses the truth . . . 1975: Twenty years later in the same
apartment, Ava Winters is keeping her own secret. Her mother has
become erratic, haunted by something Ava doesn't understand - until
one sweltering July morning, she disappears. Soon after her
mother's departure, Ava receives a parcel. Addressed simply to
'Apartment 3B', it contains a photo of a woman with the word 'LIAR'
scrawled across it. Ava does not know what it means or who sent it.
But if she can find out then perhaps she'll discover the answers
she is seeking - and meet the woman at the heart of it all . . .
