Between the Lines

Paperback

A LOVE THAT SPILLS

ACROSS THE PAGES

AND SPANS THE AGES

Dashby is an affluent 19th century gent, bored with the tired rituals of courtship and the monotony of a sheltered, privileged life. Bex is a 21st century party girl, disenchanted by the crude reality of the modern world and searching for a way to belong.

Divided by class, circumstance and an entire century, watch how their stories echo one another, frolic together, and literally intertwine on the page. The constraints of time itself collapse in the wake of true love, in this innovative work of short fiction.

‘BETWEEN THE LINES is an intricate and beautifully-handled experiment in literary and historical counterpoint — a highly original and poignant love story’. — Jonathan Taylor
