Sunday TelegraphIt was the year after Chappaquiddick, and all spring Carmel had watery dreams about the disaster. Now she, Karina and Julianne were escaping the dreary north for a London University hall of residence. Awaiting them was a winter of new preoccupations - sex, politics, food and fertility - and a pointless grotesque tragedy of their own.

Carmel’s world darkens, and tragedy waits in the wings.
