As a lonely child, Alice found comfort the same way so many others do – she invented a friend. Sam was always there when she needed him, until one day…he wasn’t.
Now, Alice’s life almost resembles something happy, normal. She has a handful of close friends and a career as a photographer. But when a tragic accident shatters the world Alice has constructed, the sense of isolation that haunted her in childhood returns. And with it, so does Sam.
To Alice, he looks and feels like a real person, but how can that be so? And who will decide when it’s time for him to leave again?
First of all we must thank Cai for introducing us to the author, and inviting her to the Book Club evening. Fleur was a delightful guest and it was a pleasure to meet her and gain some insight into the trials and tribulations of a budding author. And Trude, write that book!
