We shouldn't have done it, but we did. That should have been it, but it wasn't. Beyond contemptible it should have been embarrassing: the cliché of the best friend and the widow. Though she was never quite that. And I was never just that.
Robin is unreliable, unstable and utterly devoted to his oldest friend Henry. So when Henry's beloved mother - the lauded novelist Marian Finch - dies unexpectedly, Robin is there to pick up the pieces. Henry comes into possession of a venerable antiquarian bookshop and there - for a time - they build a life, with their found family of sorts.
But grief can send us down unexpected paths. For Henry, it leads him to the theory of multiple universes and to Yolanda, a brilliant scientist who can help him understand it.
Robin and Yolanda have three things in common: they are in love with the same man, they despise each other, and they are oblivious to the fact that Henry is spiralling into a dangerous obsession that will irrevocably change them all.
Imaginary Forces is a luminous portrait of love in its many forms - yearning, obsession, addiction - and just how messy and destructive it can be.
