Skating along the precipice of insanity, Jane withdraws into the protection of delusional fantasies. There's no one Jane any longer. As her personality fragments, she becomes four different women. Jealousy and paranoia are eating her from the inside out. Jane's English husband, John leaves their San Francisco home when his consulting business fails. He plans to build a new life for them both in England. Tortured by Jane's obsessive jealousy, he's oblivious to her developing mental illness. Worn-down, world-weary, despairing and lonely - his life is in pieces. A chance meeting with a neighbour, Rosie - a psychotherapist, changes everything. Reaching beyond the painful present, John and Rosie begin a new journey towards love together; one that is forced to confront all of life's passions as well as its debris. It's a hard road strewn with the conflicts of past, present and future and the agonies of mortality itself. This is a story that defies the age-worn stereotype of the romantic novel. It dispels widely held myths about the passions, desires and sexuality of the post-menopausal woman and the older man.
