Description:

Alice once dreamed of being an artist, but instead became a hard-working and successful manager at a computer-software company, supervising a group of over-educated writers who have decided, like her, to make money rather than do what they love. Her insistence on keeping her work life rigidly separate from her private life means that her private life barely exists. Lovers are sacrifice; needs are deferred. Her lesbian life, she thought, had a "Brigadoon-like quality, a fantasy world that was really nice to visit, but impossible to live in." Only the world of work was "real." What will happen when Alice's red-haired guardian angel, Phoebe, starts visiting her at work, spinning out tales that beg to be written down, and seducing the strait-laced Alice with thoughts of another world entirely? Elizabeth Brownrigg's first novel is absorbing and well written, a series of stories within stories, reminiscent, at times, of early Jeanette Winterson. --Regina Marler
