The Gingerbread Woman
Clara, a freelance writer and lecturer, is recovering from major surgery and nursing a broken heart after a failed love affair in New York. Meanwhile Laurence (Lar), a teacher from Northern Ireland, is mourning the loss of his wife and ten-month old daughter, who were killed two years earlier. Alternating the narrative voice, Johnston lets Clara's and Lar's stories unravel gradually to describe how these two unconventional people form a fragile friendship.
