Items related to An Innocent Diversion
Sonia is the very model of an ex-wife: smart, confident and determinedly happy. The odd tricky day afflicts her, of course; but then she has her little diversions to fall back on. Fran – wife, mother, rearer of chickens, cleaner-up of household muck (her own self-description) – is haunted by the past.
Two disparate and unconnected women – until Sonia drives into the back of a young man's car . . . and meets Jason. Jason, the unlikely link between the two women, is handsome and engaging. He is also, privately, in search of something – but what? Lover? Mother? Prey?
