"The accident that kills his wife, Dorothy, leaves Aaron bereft and the house a wreck. While those around him fuss and flap, Aaron ploughs on, busying himself with work at the family firm, a publisher with a successful line in 'Beginner's Guides'. But then Dorothy starts to materialise in the oddest places. At first, she only comes for a short while, leaving Aaron longing for more. Gradually she stays for longer, and as they talk, they also bicker... The cracks that start to reappear in their perfectly normal marriage are as well-worn and familiar to Aaron as Dorothy herself. As he begins to emerge from his grief, they are also a reassuringly poignant reminder that life may move on, but some things will forever remain the same." --Publisher description.
