In fleeing the UK - temporarily - Elizabeth may also be in flight from her past and the charismatic Arthur, once her partner in what she came to see as a series of crimes. Together they acted as fake mediums, perfecting the arcane skills practised by effective frauds. Elizabeth finally rejected what once seemed an intoxicating game. Arthur continued his search for the right way to do wrong. The pair still meet occasionally, for weekends of sexual oblivion, but their affection lacerates as much as it consoles.

  • ""While on a transatlantic trip with her soon-to-be-fiancé Derek, Elizabeth unexpectedly runs into ex-lover Arthur, with whom she shares a shady past: the pair once worked as traveling spiritual mediums who conned the vulnerable by pretending to contact the spirits of departed loved ones. While Derek remains seasick and cabin-bound, Elizabeth wanders the ship, alternately avoiding and seeking out Arthur. Unable to avoid memories of their fractured past, she must face the deception they practiced even as she accepts the peace they brought to the grief-stricken who sought their services."--Publisher's description."

  • "Elizabeth Barber überquert den Atlantik auf einem Kreuzfahrtschiff mit ihrem mehr als vorbildlichen Freund Derek. Ihrer großen Liebe Arthur hat sie den Rücken gekehrt - und damit auch ihrem Leben als Betrügerin. Auf Séancen hatten die beiden vorgegeben, Kontakt zu Verstorbenen aufzunehmen, und dabei reiche Klienten erleichtert. Mit Derek will sie nun den Weg in ein geregeltes Leben finden. Doch während er seekrank im Bett liegt, taucht plötzlich Arthur auf. Wird sie sich seinem Bann entziehen können? Die Antwort steht im "Blauen Buch", das Elizabeth ihm schenkt und das eine magische Geschichte erzählt, die wahrhafter ist als alle Wirklichkeit. A. L. Kennedy wagt sich mit ihrem neuen Roman an das höchste der Gefühle. Ein buchstäblich zauberhaftes Buch."
