The nightmare home. We thought we'd found our haven, a cottage deep in the heart of the forest. Quaint, charming, maybe a little run-down, but so peaceful. The woodland animals and birds couldn't have been more neighbourly. That was the first part of the Magic. Midge's painting and my music soared to new heights of creativity. That was another part of the Magic. Our sensing, our feelings, our love for each other - well, that became the supreme Magic. But the cottage had an alternative side. The Bad Magic.

En los pasillos de esta novela, una mujer se repite y multiplica. Se desdobla. Una de ellas elige la renuncia y el escape; la otra permanece siguiendo su propio rastro. Algo sucede en su cerebro. En ese trance, cuando sus recuerdos, sueños y miedos se entrecruzan en un presente continuo, ellas se preguntan si el pulso de su deseo es seguir viviendo.
