Présentation de l'éditeur
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.

Paperback. Born into a world without welcome, Isobel observes it as warily as an alien trying to pass for a native. Her collection of imaginary friends includes the Virgin Mary and Sherlock Holmes. Later she meets Byron, W. H. Auden and T. S. Eliot. Isobel is not as much at ease with the flesh-and-blood people she meets, and least of all with herself, until a lucky encounter and a little detective work reveal her identity and her true situation in life.
