Publisher's Synopsis
March Murray returns to the small town where she grew up for a funeral and finds herself being drawn back into an intense and dangerous love affair which she had thought was over, a love affair which threatens her marriage, her family and even her own identity. Brilliantly evoking the tempo of small-town life and the mysterious, marshy countryside all around, this is a beautifully written, engaging and disturbing novel which draws the reader right inside a consuming love affair and its history, and the ripples it causes. And at the same time it conjures up an unforgetable cast of characters - both hilariously funny and touchingly sad - delicately exploring a network of overlapping relationships, each with its own secrets and surprises.
