INTRODUCED BY HILARY MANTEL WITH A BEAUTIFUL COVER BY TEXTILE DESIGNER FLORENCE BROADHURST''The perfection of its tone and prose is matched by an anguished wit'' AMANDA CRAIG, GUARDIAN ''Wonderfully sinister, so enchantingly written and so sad.

And to Imogen''s increasing disbelief, she may be succeeding - for in affairs of the heart the race is not necessarily won by the swift or the fair.
