When young academic Clara Wilson gets the opportunity to interview the acclaimed novelist Christina Darnell in Belfast, she anticipates a major biographical scoop for her academic book. Who is this mysterious writer? What secrets are lingering behind her novels? And why has she agreed to be interviewed again so late in her career? Clara wants to unpeel the truth behind the fiction. But Christina has another lesson in store for Clara.
Over a few months, a relationship forms between two women who live their lives in books. Clara, writing her first, leans in and learns from a writer finishing her final book. During this time, Clara, face to face with her hero, begins to question her own convictions. Faced with a publication deadline, a newfound friendship with her subject and Christina's own failing health, Clara questions the very logic of her life, ultimately asking herself: what if there is nothing but fiction?
