Revue de presse :
Woof, who has written plays since her early 20s, grasps how understatement can be just as powerful as baroque, highly stylised prose. While the romantic yearnings of a middle-class mother might not be wholly original territory, this is far from chick-lit; instead, it demonstrates a well-tuned sensitivity to the complications of human existence. --Observer
From actress Emily Woof comes an impassioned story of artistic ambition, clandestine desire and the meaning of marriage...a persuasive first novel. --Daily Mail
Woof writes in simple, spare sentences, but there is poetry too in the way that she reveals the presence of the extraordinary in the everyday. She shows a tremendous versatility: moments of social comedy are placed alongside scenes of love, longing and loss. An air of melancholy at missed opportunities hangs over all of the characters, but this moving and haunting novel is also full of humour and warmth. --Daily Telegraph

Katherine Freeman has drifted far from her life as a dancer. Married with a small child and working as a part-time teacher, she has become distant from her life, navigating the world in a dream, drawn one way and another by those who depend on her. Her father David is the charismatic director of the Broughton Poetry Foundation in Northumberland. His intense passion for his work masks a complicated inner world, and his already fraught relationship with Katherine is further threatened when she falls in love with his young colleague, Stephen Jericho. Stephen and Katherine risk everything as they are explore the extremes of their passionate connection. In this powerful debut, Emily Woof uses her unique descriptive talent and spare prose to examine the human need to engage. This is an exceptional novel about life's choices: love and family, art and commerce, ideals and compromise.
