Synopsis

Eleanor is a young barrister living in Southwark and her latest case is defending a man who supposedly harrassed his exgirlfriend with letters, calls, gifts and flowers. The case is a difficult one - what exactly is unwanted attention and when does it begin to become dangerous? But Eleanor can't concentrate on her job when she can only think about the stranger she sat next to on the plane four days before. He was attractive, unusual and somehow mysterious; Eleanor is intrigued by him. But when he eventually contacts her, it is the start of dark events as the stalking she has refuted in court begins to happen to her...

Media Reviews
'Nothing is what it seems in this gripping, insightful novel... Jemima Hunt writes like Joanna Trollope with John Grisham's balls' - Mirror; 'Gripping and swiftly moving... an acutely observed study of obsession' - Harpers & Queen; 'Jemima Hunt has piercing skills of observation and an unabashed disceming style' - Guardian; 'Jemima Hunt's otherwise intelligent and resourceful protagonist Elinor gives herself away to the kind of in-love excess we have all been taught to desire for its vital passion, while simultaneously fearing for the necessary sublimation of self. By feeding in the undercurrent of a stalker's increasingly nasty fixation on Elinor herself, Hunt has created an intimate dissection of obsession and self-delusion.' - Stella Duffy; 'An intriguing look at the line between passion and obsession' - OK Magazine; 'Riotous and effervescent on the surface - darker and more complex beneath - and written with great verve and humour. A hugely enjoyable read' - Patrick McGrath on Notes from Utopia; 'A smart and sexy New York story' - Vogue on Notes from Utopia; 'Merges all the best elements of Sex and the City and Julie Burchill's Ambition, but adds some bitter sweetness. It's top reading, frothy and sad at the same time, easy-going but infinitely touching' - Minx on Notes from Utopia 'Great stuff' - Company
