"Charlie is twenty-three, single and the new publicity assistant at London's preeminent independent book publishing house. Richard Aveling is fifty-six, married and the author who has defined his generation. Charlie has long idolized 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. Too soon, she can't imagine her life without Richard, and too late, she understands that losing him will unravel more than just their relationship -- it might also unravel her."-- Provided by publisher.
