The Palm House
by Gwendoline Riley

Recently, though, Putnam has been harder to reach: He has lost his father, and the magazine where he works has an insufferable new editor. Laura has her own problems: Living in London, a beautiful but also indifferent city, with a prickly mother to manage and a tricky past to contemplate, she finds that day-to-day life presents its difficulties. And as Putnam starts to sink into despondency, she must try to bring him back.
