LIMERENCE is a mind-altering, compulsive desire for one person, and the desperate need to be aknowledged by that person. This story is about limerence and love, about Alice’s struggle to overcome her disappointments and to fulfil her long-held belief in perfect love. It deals with longing, with forgiveness, and with promises kept and broken. The vivid historical strand running through the story - so vital to Alice - brings to life the ancestors she’s proud of and those she would rather forget; the English port of Bristol holds them all and the unblemished life of her hero Captain Phillip Rossetti guides her through the fantasies of her youth to the calamity she is helpless to avoid.This is a literary novel with wide appeal beyond mainstream women’s writing, with deep character development and evocative descriptions of Bristol and the Welsh border country, along with a powerful historical element giving depth to the main storyline.
