Jane is losing the plot. She hasn’t been to work for weeks, maybe months, she can’t remember. Her estranged husband is in a coma, and his girlfriend keeps texting her. There might be a cat in her house, but it might not be real, or even a cat. A creepy claims adjustor is harassing her about her husband’s insurance policy. Sometimes her reflection in the bathroom mirror doesn’t wave back. She’s wondering if the plot she’s losing is the one she thought it was.

Linnet has no idea who she is, or where, except it’s not her world. She is traveling with strangers, to somewhere, to find something that isn’t hers, for somebody she doesn’t know. The horses are strange, the fox keeps changing into other foxes, and at least two groups of people want to kill her. Sometimes her reflection in the bathroom mirror isn’t even hers. She’s less worried about losing the plot than that it isn’t even her plot.

The Queen knows the plot. She would like it to turn out differently, this time.

Lucy Fisher is 50% fiction and crisps, 50% bookseller. She lives and works in West London. She has an extensive range of interests, most of which can be pursued from the sofa. She has two jobs, one husband, one cat, also a spectacularly comfortable sofa.
