Description
Elinor is a young barrister living in Southwark and her latest case is defending a man who supposedly harrassed his ex-girlfriend with letters, calls, gifts and flowers. The case is a difficult one - what exactly is unwanted attention and when does it begin to become dangerous? But Elinor can't concentrate on her job when she can only think about the stranger she sat next to on the plane four days before. He was attractive, unusual and somehow mysterious; Elinor is intrigued by him. But when he eventually contacts her, it is the start of dark events as the stalking she has refuted in court begins to happen to her...
Reviews / Votes
'Riotous and effervescent on the surface - darker and more complex beneath - and written with great verve and humour. A hugely enjoyable read' Patrick McGrath on Notes from Utopia 2 'A smart and sexy New York story' Vogue on Notes from Utopia 3 'Merges all the best elements of SEX AND THE CITY and Julie Burchill's AMBITION, but adds some bitter sweetness. It's top reading, frothy and sad at the same time, easy-going but infinitely touching' Minx on Notes from Utopia 4 'Great stuff' CompanyMore details
