From their first encounter, late one night in an underground car park, the narrator of True Things About Me is intoxicated by a stranger who seems to overwhelm her quiet life. But beneath the surface something takes hold that will drive her to extremes of pleasure - and finally, on a cold and eerie night to face up to her fate.

Part novel, part fantasy, part social history. More than anything it tells dark, universal tales about how utterly strange it is to learn to be human.
