Description

         Anna Karenina left her husband to get a running officer. Hers was left by Lady Chatterley for the gamekeeper. Today Alice Coombs has her boyfriend for nothing … nothing at all.  So just how which should came to pass and what Philip Engstrand, Alice’s spurned boyfriend, may do about any of it may be the idea for this vertiginous risky love from the acclaimed writer of Gun, with Occasional Music.          Alice Coombs is just a chemical physicist, and she and her co-workers have produced a gap, a hole in the world, they have taken fully to calling Absence.
