Out of Print Alice Treemont has given up hope of meeting the right man
and falling in love. Living in depopulated Blake’s Folly,
a quirky community of rusting cars, old trailers,
clapboard shacks and thirsty weeds, she spends her time
cooking vegetarian meals, rescuing unwanted dogs and
protecting the most unloved creatures on earth: snakes.
What man would share those interests? Certainly not Jace
Constant whose life in Chicago includes elegant women,
fine dining and contemporary art. Jace has come to Nevada to research the new book he’s
writing, but he won’t be staying; as far as he’s
concerned, Blake’s Folly is hell on earth. He’s disgusted
by desert dust on his fine Italian shoes, dog hair on his
cashmere sweaters and by desert bleakness. As for snakes,
he doesn’t only despise them: they terrify him. So how is it possible that each time Alice and Jace meet,
the air sizzles? That she’s as fascinated by him as he is
by her? That they know their feelings go deeper than raw
desire? Still, it looks like this relationship is doomed
before it starts: Jace won’t be around for long, and
Alice wants to avoid the heartbreak of a short fling. In need of some juicy romantic gossip, the other 52
residents of Blake's Folly have decided Alice has been
alone for long enough. The attraction between her and
Jace is obvious to everyone, so why worry about essential
differences? If you trust in love, solutions do appear.
But don’t those solutions call for too many compromises,
too much self-sacrifice?
