Publisher's Summary:

Have you ever loved someone enough to die for them? Or even kill for them?

Ellen Millar is an independent soul. An actress whose star is in the ascendant, she also has a partially decorated flat, a mountain of debt and some seriously good friends to sustain her. Into the equation of her life comes Aedan. An Irishman. Their attraction is instant; their affair intense and all-consuming. This five-day courtship is the prelude to a life together, until Aedan returns to Ireland and realises that some emotional entanglements are impossible to untie.

Jane Slavin conveys the agony of a broken heart and a restless mind with shocking clarity. In Ellen Millar, she has created a candid, witty and uncompromising narrator whose addiction to one man takes her close to madness.

Critic Reviews:

"An astonishing novel.... Brilliant on the theme of obsessional love; funny, sexy, painful and totally readable." (Fay Weldon)

"Jane Slavin's first novel has more pace and panache than any other fiction I have read this year...Slavin writes cleverly about sex and touchingly about the displacement activities of the broken-hearted. Clearly, she is indecently talented." (Rose Tremain, 'Book of the Year' - The Daily Telegraph)

"A vivacious first novel tracing the progress of an independent young woman's descent into obsession." (Sally Feldman, 'Pick of the Paperbacks' - Good Housekeeping)

Members Reviews:

hard to imagine how this could have been any better

This emotionally honest roller-coaster ride follows an up-and-coming actress through a life-changing love affair. Slavin's interior monologue, dialogue, and notes between characters are pitch-perfect. She might have been tempted to whitewash her heroine or clean things up, but remained true to the characters and the story. Unexpected but well-done ending.

"Writing on the Water": beautifully written

"Writing on the Water" is a frank and raw read. It pulls no punches. It is funny, tragic, addictive.

We've all been there in some degree, met the compelling irresistible person, blundered into the relationship that we know is destructive, but is also compulsive, where we know what we should do, but are sapped of the the resolve to escape.

Jane Slavin tells her heroine's tale of addiction to another person with piercing insight and an often merciless wit.

I felt totally involved with the heroine and her total involvement, a reflection of the realism and honesty of the story, which is also beautifully written.

Putting this novel aside without finishing it would be like writing on the water ...
