Publisher's Synopsis
A philandering art dealer tries to give up casual love affairs - seeking only passionate kisses as a substitute; a man recounts his personal history through the things he has stolen from others throughout his life; a couple chart the journey of their five year relationship backwards, from awkward reunion to lovelorn first encounter. And, at the heart of the book, a 24-year old young woman, Bethany Mellmoth, embarks on a year-long journey of self-discovery. The Dreams of Bethany Mellmoth depicts the random encounters that bring the past bubbling to the surface, the impulsive decisions that irrevocably shape a life and the endless hesitations that complicate it.
