This novel is a turn of the 21st century romance of possibilities in middle age.Harry, so-called as a child because she was a tomboy - or a tomboy because she was so-called as a child? - is approaching fifty and is still preoccupied with questions of identity. What has influenced who she has become? Is she the familiar face she sees in her mirror, or the unreflected face that others see? How can she choose who to be with? And where can she find him? As she seeks answers through searching for a partner, the story looks with humour and sympathy at the range of ways of being a man or a woman.Harry's search is paralleled by Alex's; similar questions haunt him and as he comes to discover more about the truth of his own history he feels released to contemplate new options.The riverside town with its open marshes and wide skies, and the great river Thames itself, have roles to play in the lives of Harry and Alex, while chance also takes its crucial part.
