'Erotic and absorbing . . . Written with startling power' New York Times Book ReviewNan King, an oyster girl, is captivated by the music hall phenomenon Kitty Butler, a male impersonator extraordinaire treading the boards in Canterbury. Through a friend at the box office, Nan manages to visit all her shows and finally meet her heroine.

At the same time, behind closed doors, they admit their attraction to each other and their affair begins.
