From the author of The Gustav Sonata In Rose Tremain's teasing and brilliant title story, Evangelista's Fanset in a disturbing dreamlike version of Regency London, a young italian clockmaker contrives a magical means, not only of repairing time, but also of unlocking the mechanism of sexual happiness.

Here are stories set in Cornwall, Corsica, Nashville, Niagara and an unidentified city which conjures up any and every Western European capital. Here are the obstinate dreams of the old and the passionate struggles of the young; here is heartbreak and humour; and here, above all, is love in its many and varied forms. Over a million Rose Tremain books sold 'A writer of exceptional talent ...

The fictional world is rendered with extraordinary vividness' Marcel Theroux, Guardian… (plus d'informations)
