Robin is unreliable, unstable and utterly devoted to his oldest friend Henry. So when Henry's beloved mother - the novelist Marian Finch - dies unexpectedly, Robin is there to pick up the pieces. Henry comes into possession of a antiquarian bookshop and there - for a time - they build a life together.

But grief can send us down unexpected paths. For Henry, it leads him to the theory of multiple universes and to Yolanda, a brilliant scientist who can help him understand it.

Robin and Yolanda have three things in common: they are in love with the same man, they despise each other, and they are oblivious to the fact that Henry is spiralling into a dangerous obsession that will irrevocably change them all.

Imaginary Forces is a luminous portrait of love in its many forms - yearning, obsession, addiction - and just how messy and destructive it can be.

For readers of Alice Winn and Tomasz Jedrowski, Imaginary Forces is a debut novel about a love triangle surrounding Henry: a young man who becomes obsessed with the theory of parallel worlds because he cannot face the reality of his own grief.

"A stunning story that hurt my heart." - Heather Darwent.

"With shades of Patricia Highsmith, Imaginary Forces is a cut above. With a chilling story and an unforgettable voice and characters, this is an extraordinarily accomplished debut." - Jennie Godrey.

"What an immense talent! This is a book that will get people talking...It's sophisticated, cleverly plotted and beautifully written. I couldn't put it down." - Kate Kemp.
