"Everyone has an imaginary friend. Rarely do they marry their imaginary friend. Only one has ever had their imaginary family become real. Lewis Tumnal is a teacher of English at the county school. Quiet and uncomplicated, he lives in a big Edwardian house in the north of Wren Hoe with his wife, and a daughter of 11 years. But Lewis Tumnal and his family are the imaginary lives of Louis Tumnal, a withdrawn and lonely bachelor, ill at ease with himself and in social situations. With few friends, he goes to a night class in photography which he loves, but he keeps himself very much to himself. That is, until he meets Kathryn... ""I became invested immediately in their lives and was turning the pages frantically to see what was going to happen next...there was a lot at stake for the main characters, so I was holding my breath the entire time."" (Angella Graff, author of The Judas Curse series) "
