Born into a world without welcome, Isobel observes it as warily as an alien beamed onto another planet. She amasses a collection of imaginary friends including the Virgin Mary and Sherlock Holmes, Byron, W.H. Auden and T.S. Eliot. However, she is not quite as comfortable with the flesh-and-blood people she meets, and least of all with herself, as she attempts to come to terms with a life she doesn't understand. However, a chance encounter and a little detective work reveal her true identity and her true position in life.
