Overview

This is the cautionary tale of Toby Withers and Zoe Bryce, companions at the edge of the alphabet--that strange, incommunicable region of the mind walled by silence, noisy with dreams. Toby and Zoe meet on the ship to England. Irishman Pat Keenan, a London bus driver, passionately ordinary, forms the apex of the triangle.
