Drawn together by mutual friends and a shared love of art, Signe, a talented photographer, and William, a psychiatrist, construct a private and passionate world of two. From the be ginning, William asserts subtle but firm control over Signe, while maintaining a discreet distance from her. Driven by a need to penetrate the mystery of this man, Signe tries to crack the code to his carefully guarded world of hypnosis and psychotherapy.Sarah Sheard employs her precise and evocative prose to tell a cautionary tale about the allure of romantic love - an intoxicating, but ultimately malevolent enthralment.
