Description

Charlie is twenty-three, single and the new publicity assistant at the independent London publishing house Winden & Shane.

Richard Aveling is fifty-six, married and the author that has defined his generation. Charlie has long idolised the charming, illustrious writer, who also represents a link to her late mother, who loved his work. But as they embark on an illicit and all-consuming affair, Charlie is forced to hide the relationship from everyone she cares about.

And when the success of Richard’s latest book launches him to a new level of fame where all anonymity is lost, she realises she might just be in too deep… A thought-provoking exploration of a relationship founded in power, control and silence.
