Temples of delight, paperback/barbara trapido

Jem is a joyful mystery to Alice.

She is something to give thanks for.

And when she disappears from Alices life, as suddenly as she entered it, a whirl of glamour, subversion and literary references, Alice is left bereft.

But then she meets Giovanni, presumptuous and hectoring, passionate and beautiful, who leads her back to her childhood friend.
