Beattie’s lover Max has given her a very special birthday present – a weekend at England’s most exclusive health farm. But if he had known what was to happen there, he would have bought her a diamond instead. For thirty year old Beattie, who has always fancied men, suddenly finds herself attracted to a woman – a woman twenty years older, a grandmother, even. Her initial infatuation erupts into a passion which threatens to take over her life as, desperately, she seeks admission into Elizabeth’s inner sanctum – her work as a psychotherapist, her family, her very soul.

About the Author:
Wendy Perriam has been writing since the age of 5, completing her first 'novel', "A Pony At Last", on her 12th birthday. Expelled from boarding school for heresy – and told she was in danger of eternal damnation - she escaped to Oxford, where she read History and also trod the boards. After a variety of offbeat jobs, ranging from artist's model to carnation-disbudder to researcher on medieval cookery, she now divides her time between teaching and writing. Having begun by writing poetry, she went on to publish 17 novels and 7 short-story collections. Her work boldly mixes sex, religion and humour, and has been acclaimed for its psychological insight and its power to disturb, divert and shock. She has also written extensively for newspapers and magazines, and was a regular contributor to radio programmes such as "Stop the Week" and "Fourth Column". Perriam feels that her many conflicting life experiences – strict convent-school discipline and swinging-sixties wildness, marriage and divorce, infertility and motherhood, 9-to-5 conformity and periodic Bedlam – have helped shape her as a writer. 'Writing allows for shadow-selves. I'm both the staid conformist matron and the slag; the well-organised author toiling at her desk and the madwoman shrieking in a straitjacket.'
