Falling Upwards

Two years after her husband abandons her for another woman, Sophie Luce is descending into depression, her drinking out of control. Her teenage son has left for university and, apart from Anya, her eccentric Polish lodger, she lives alone in a rambling house in north London, unable and unwilling to cope. The upstairs heating system breaks down and Sophie has to find someone to repair it, leading to a bizarre chain of events, dramatic and macabre, which change her life for ever.
