Longlisted for the 2001 Women's Prize for Fiction

‘It’s night. I’m sitting at my screen. There’s an e-mail for me. I unwrap it. It says – Freedom, just for one night.’

Ali, or Alix, is an e-writer. They will write anything you like, but on one condition: that you are prepared to enter your story. Finally, you can be the hero of your own life.
But, there is a price to pay – the risk that you might leave the story as somebody else.
