The moment Jem joins her class, Alice knows her life is irrevocably changed. Glamorous, different, a subversive, Jem seduces Alice - and then vanishes as abruptly as she came, leaving Alice bereft. Then, five years on, Jem blazes across her sphere again, trailing mystery, chaos and large-scale casualty. And the infuriating, demoniac Giovanni appears who, sharing Jem's gift for suffusing life with magic, becomes Alice's very own dangerous Sarastro, holding the talisman.

Sparky Christina and her saintly adopted sister Pam couldn't be more different. And when they meet similarly mismatched friends Jago and Peter, the four embark on a dazzling series of pairings and partings, outrageous coincidences and eleventh-hour entrances interrupted one disastrous Halloween when schoolboy revelry turns horribly wrong. Three years on, as Christina analyses the wit, cruelty and crossed genders of Shakespearean comedy, the cast of her own life reunites and the curtain falls on some gloriously unexpected partnerships.

Lydia is killed in a car accident, but she returns to her bereft sister as a benign ghost who, nonetheless, comes to haunt the lives of those around her in unexpected ways: Jonathan Goldman, whose flat Lydia is running from when she is knocked down; his daughter Stella, who has discovered that her father has been having an affair with the gladiatorial Sonia; Stella's genius painter-boy lover Izzy, whom she leaves behind as she flees to the arms of kindly Peregrine. Along with good stepmothers, bad mothers, strange professors and wicked monks, their lives collide in a breathtaking finale.
