A freezing room in students house, a sagging mattress on to the floor, and two people, one nineteen, the other twenty, kissing passionately. All night. It is to the scene that, twenty years later, Rosy, the narrator of Julie Myerson's astonishing new novel, returns obsessively. She's just lost a kid in an awful, careless accident, and Tom, her partner, has taken her to Paris to forget about things, to begin again. It has snowed in the night time and, waking at dawn, Rosy decides to get a walk. With the hotel desk there's a note for her: 'I'm looking forward to you X.' And he's, sitting in the corner of a cafe she enters almost randomly. They talk. He touches her. She turns away so when she looks again he's gone. Was he there? Had she dreamed him? And just why, when he emails her out of the blue two days later, does he write as if they haven't met for twenty years?
