The starting point is the encounter between Therese, a young set designer working as a shop assistant in a department store, and Carol, an elegant, recently divorced woman buying a doll for her daughter. That encounter changes the course of their lives and leads to a love affair that clashes with the social conventions of the era.

Aimed at an adult audience interested in romantic fiction and literary narrative, especially LGBTQ+ stories.

She wrote 22 novels and numerous short stories in a career spanning nearly five decades, and her work has led to more than two dozen film adaptations. Her writing was influenced by existentialist literature and questioned notions of identity and popular morality. She was dubbed "the poet of apprehension" by novelist Graham Greene.
