What this book is about
Lucy Silchester's life is a mess — she's avoiding everything, including herself. Then a disheveled man appears at her door: her Life, personified, and deeply unhappy about how he's been treated. Ahern's whimsical romantic fantasy uses the conceit to examine what it means to actually show up for the life you've been given.
