Out of Print Alice Treemont has given up hope of meeting the right man and falling in love. Living in depopulated Blakeβs 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 heβs writing, but he wonβt be staying; as far as heβs concerned, Blakeβs Folly is hell on earth. Heβs disgusted by desert dust on his fine Italian shoes, dog hair on his cashmere sweaters and by desert bleakness. As for snakes, he doesnβt only despise them: they terrify him. So how is it possible that each time Alice and Jace meet, the air sizzles? That sheβs 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 wonβt 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 donβt those solutions call for too many compromises, too much self-sacrifice?
