  STRANGE FITS OF PASSION A successful journalist, Maureen English appears to have the perfect life. But her husband has a tendency towards alcohol and abuse and so Maureen takes her daughter and flees. In a Maine fishing town she assumes a new identity and spends six weeks battling sub-zero temperatures, intrusive townsfolk and fear of discovery. She soon settles into the rhythms of a new life. But this calming respite is about to come crashing to an end ...WHERE OR WHEN When Charles Callahan sees on a newspaper photograph of Sian Richards, a woman he loved when they were both only thirteen, he is in no position to do anything about it. He has been faithfully married for years, but Charles cannot bear his curiosity, and decides to get in touch. The two meet and are forced to come to terms with the nature of erotic love and betrayal in an age of shifting values.
